To register Vim for OLE use, run it as
gvim -register
The install process ought to have done that, but since you're running on
Vista, maybe it hadn't got the right privileges. RUNNING FROM AN
ADMINISTRATOR LOGIN IS NOT ENOUGH. You must, *in addition*, request
admin privileges (for the Dos Box where you'll be typing "gvim
-register", I suppose) *before* you do this registration, and as a
distinct step.
Also, if you're running 32-bit Vim on a 64-bit Vista, you might have to
intervene manually in addition to this, but I'm not sure whether or how.
I don't use Vista myself, but I've read this on other mutual-help
newsgroup as the answer to some questions told by Vista users. So be
careful: this is all hearsay, I've tested none of it myself (except the
-register switch, which already worked on XP).
For the Vim side of it, see
:help -register
Best regards,
Tony.
