Incorrectly registered DLL extracted to download folder. Unable to unregister

[GraveD]

Hi team,

I messed my install up and decided to reinstall 2.1.3 on my system. 

I was able to successfully register the DLL after unblocking the files and selecting run as admin as per instructions.

In my haste, I registered the DLL when it was still in the download folder. 

I copied these files to my Tables folder, overwriting the original files and it seemed OK. 

 

When I play games, I get a UAC error about B2SBackglssServer.exe and need to manually accept Yes to display the backglass.

The backglass appears to work correctly and I know I could setup a UAC policy to get around this but it never existed before

 

So, I wanted to deregister the DLL and its reference in the Download folder and re-register in its correct location. 

 

Then I get this error 

 

"Failed to unregister the following files: xxxxxxxx"

 

What approach can I take to go back to a clean environment and reinstall?

 

Thanks for looking

Just run the register app in the new folder. It will change location in the registry. No need to unregister which never seems to work anyway

Thanks for looking. 

 

Deleted the extracted folder in Downloads.

Used 7zip to extract files directly into Tables, overwriting existing files. 

In properties , set to run as administrator
Right click and Run as Administrator and I get this ActiveX component issue

I just created a new folder called B2S in my root of my vpin folder, registered and now have backglass back BUT I'm getting a popup to run backglassserver.exe

I don't have it set to run as Administrator. 

Once I've solved this I'm back in business

yeah I have my b2s server in it's own folder as well, simply E:\B2S.  Make sure you copy your b2stablesettings.xml into that folder as well. And hopefully it's a clean xml. I went round and round a couple years ago struggling to get the server to register and it turned out my xml was missing a close at the end >. That little > caused no end of problems
