Hey guys, I thought you might be able to make some sense from this error message I received from trying to play blast chamber on my windows 10 machine.
--------------------------- Pipe 2.0 --------------------------- Component 'msoecmd32.dll' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid --------------------------- OK ---------------------------I was trying to run as administrator the same as normal, but out of nowhere I get this message. Anyone familiar with the above DLL file? This game used to run fine on this PC! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
