I am trying to install PureSim on my new laptop (Windows Vista) and it isn't working. The opening screen opens up fine, but when I click Play it gives me the following error message: " Unexpected Error; quitting" and then the game won't load. I have all of the install and update files from version 1.00 through version CE5. When I install version 1.00 I get the following error message during the install:
"Failed to Register COM (ActiveX) control C:\PureSim Baseball
2007\dxg222.dll
Failure in LoadLibrary() (126)"
The game continues to install after that but then I get the previous error message when I click Play. I tried installing the version 1.51 file and it installs without the second error message I mentioned above. However, when I click Play I get the fist error message above.

Shaun, please help...I'm going through withdrawals. The game worked fine on my previous computer running XP.

Thanks,
Tom

I had the same problem on my Windows Vista laptop. This is how I solved it:

PREP:

  • Forget v1.00
  • Download v1.51
  • Download CE 2
  • Download CE 5

Install:

  • Install v1.51
  • At some point, it will state that the OS you're using isn't compatible with PureSim. However, it will let you proceed with the install. Proceed with it.
  • Once v1.51 is in, install CE 2.
  • Once that's done, install CE 5.
  • Enjoy the game because it will work fine.

The only detail I've personally noticed running it in Vista is that first, if you're running Aero, Vista will temporarily downgrade you to Basic-- it seems that PSB doesn't function with Aero. It works fine in Basic though, and Vista switches you back (if applicable) once you exit the game. Second, you'll get the Allow/Deny prompt every time you run it, unlike other games I've installed who just RUN. However, these petty little issues aside, the game runs flawlessly.

I have had no problems since.
