Below is a list of the most common questions however my advice is to download the demo version and try it first as this is the best way of knowing the answer, then if you think that the software is for you are welcome to buy it.
Thank you for your time.
I downloaded the PHex software today but when I click on the Database button, the following message pop up
"-2147467259- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\PHex\phex.mdb not a valid path. Please confirm correct path and check if the document resident server is linked.
What is the difference between the full and the demo version? does the full version include more calculations?
The demo version will include all the screens you and the calculations in the full version, the only difference is that the demo version has limited functionality and doesn't allow you to change many variables. The full version allow more flexibility and you can change all the variables.
The software was designed to work with
Win98,WinMe,Win2000,WinNt and WinXP.
However I realy recommend downloading the Demo version first and trying it. As this will give you a clearer indication, YOU Don't want to buy a software that doesn't work properly with your operating system!. If the Demo version works properly then the full version will also work properly. please note the software may not work properly on Windows 2000 professional
I cannot open any of the detabases in version 1.0. I keep getting the message below:
713 - Class not registered.
Looking for object with CLSID:{59245250-7A2F-11D0-9482-00A0C91110ED}
I think that the problem is that your computer doesn't registered a specific file called msbind.dll
Here is the solution to your problem,
1) Open explorer and go to where our software will be installed, this will be something like:
C:\Program Files\webbusterz\phexdemo\
folder, in this folder copy the file called msbind.dll
2) Open explorer again and then go to your system32 folder, this will be something like:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\
folder
3) Paste msbind.dll into the above folder (system32 folder)
4) click on "Start" in the toolbar
5) click on "Run"
6) type in
Regsvr32 C:\windows\system32\msbind.dll
7) a message should appear saying that the above file was registered succesfully
8) Restart the computer
9) Run the software
this should work, however please let us know how do you get on or if you have any problem.
Does the software have a components/properties database?
No, the software currently have an empty database, the empty database only there to ease the process of loading components to the software. The database is for the user
to use and add the components that he/she always use so that he/she can simulate quicker.
We will consider adding a real database may be in future versions.
