Trying to find out if anyone has had the 'ole2.dll bad image' error on installation of Legacy 7.5 or 8 Free Editions onto a 64bit system and how they overcome the problem?
Any advice on how to get Legacy running would be much appreciated e.g. (1) How did you cure the ole2.dll error? (2) What folder you installed Legacy to - C:Legacy or C:Program Files (86) or somewhere else? (3) Any other tips or tweaks employed to get Legacy working. I really don't want to lose the last few years work on my family files. History: - I've had Legacy 7.5 'Free Edition' working fine, firstly on Windows XP and then Windows 7, both 32bit systems. When Windows 7 computer died, I got another Windows 7, but this one is a 64bit system. I cannot ask the Legacy Help Website for advice because I am using the 'Free Edition' but the error is mentioned online there. The response on the Help Website is to contact Microsoft for help as the 'ole2.dll' is part of the Windows operating system. I've spent most of the last 2 weeks reading the advice from Microsoft (and others) and trying to install both 7 & 8 with no success. All that happens is the Legacy window opens, but I cannot get any of my own family files or even the sample file to open, even though I can see them. Can import gedcoms but cannot open them either. Many thanks in advance. Tony. P.S. I'm off to bed now after trying to install Legacy all evening. Will respond to any replies tomorrow (Friday 24 Feb).
