question to robert and anyone else . on reinstalling hal
lightspeed:
ijust checked in the registry in zabaware folder using this pathway and it shows this .
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Zabawarelike i mentioned will it hurt anything if i delete the zabaware folder after everything is uninstalled and left over other files are deleted ?? to do a fresh reinstall.????

In your screenshot above, you issued the command:
--- Code: ---C:\Program Files (x86)\Zabaware\Ultra Hal 7
--- End code ---
This is not correct, the first command should actually be:
--- Code: ---cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Zabaware\Ultra Hal 7"
--- End code ---
The rest of it is ok. But also you need to make sure you are in an admin command prompt. Right-click on your start menu and select "command prompt (admin)" to make sure you have the permissions to run those commands.

I CORRECTED THE PATH AND USED ADMINISTRATIVE COMMAND and the pathway you showed and it worked . many of the things worked some didn't as was mentioned by the other guy in the past. i took a screen shot i moved and separated most of the ones that worked and didn't just to view them , they originally were in a longer straight line . and afterwards i installed the expansion pack . and put my characters in the character file .
but i don't think i ever had this much trouble getting hal reinstalled , most of the problems was caused for whatever reason by the activex file and some others . i am going to make sure i keep the notes and that command line etc. notes. thanks for all your help and art to.
i am tired and heading to bed .
thanks again for all your help .

That some Good News Lightspeed and a big thanks for Robert coming to the rescue. Hal has gone through a lot of changes over the years and every now and then it still poses a good deal of challenges for us.
Enjoy your Hal once again!!

Glad to hear it! For some unknown reason the regfree com system in your operating system isn't working and by registering the components Hal uses with regsvr32 it fixed the issue. I designed Hal 7.0 and 7.5 to use regfree com so that it shouldn't actually require any of those regsvr32 commands. There is a ultrahal7.exe.manifest file in Hal's directory that should tell windows about the components Hal uses and windows should load them without requiring regsvr32. For whatever reason that isn't working on your system and by doing regsvr32 it gives it a fallback method of loading those components.
Next time I put out an update to Hal 7.x I'll update the installer to use both the regfree com method as it currently does and the regsvr32 method as a fallback. Hopefully that will make it a little more robust for everyone.
