Error message

Class not registered or Operation Not Applicable

Description

Class not registered or Operation Not Applicable is displayed when you launch the program.

Common reason for this error

This issue typically occurs if Midas.dll is not registered on your computer, or if an incompatible version of Midas.dll is registered on your computer. In order to run Methuselah, version 6.0.6.163 of Midas.dll must be registered on your computer. This version of Midas.dll is included in your copy of the program. In most cases Midas.dll is automatically registered during the installation process, however in some cases it needs to registered manually.

Troubleshooting tip

To register Midas.dll:

1. Open the folder where Methuselah is installed. By default this is c:\program files\methuselah mvp.
2. Find the file named Reg.bat.
3. Double-click on this file to register Midas.dll.
4. A small black window is shown while the process is underway. When the process is finished the window will close.
5. Run Methuselah. If the problem still occurs, continue below.
6. On the task bar, click Start then select Run. The Run prompt will open.
7. Enter the following string then click OK. Keep in mind that the string includes the path to the location where midas.dll is located. If Methuselah is not installed in the default location then you need to enter the path to the location where it is installed.

   regsvr32 "c:\program files\methuselah mvp\midas.dll"

8. A confirmation should appear that reads as follows: DllRegisterServer in c:\program files\methuselah mvp\midas.dll succeeded. If this message did not appear then check the string and try again.
9. Run Methuselah. If the problem still occurs, continue below.
10. Go to c:\windows\system32
11. Find Midas.dll. If you do not find the file, go to c:\windows\system and look again.
12. Right-click on the file and in the pop-up menu select Properties. In the Properties screen, click the Version tab and look up the File Version number.

13. Now, goto c:\program files\methuselah mvp or the folder where Methuselah is installed if different.
14. Find the file midas.dll.
15. Right-click on this file, then in the pop-up menu choose "Copy"
16. Now, return to c:\windows\system32, or to the folder where the original Midas.dll is located if different.
17. Paste midas.dll into this folder.
18. On the task bar, click Start, then select Run. The Run prompt will open.
19. Enter the following string then click Ok. If you copied Midas.dll to a different location, enter the alternate location in the string.

    regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\midas.dll"

20. A confirmation should appear that reads as follows: DllRegisterServer in c:\windows\system32\midas.dll succeeded. If this message did not appear please check the string that you entered and try again.
21. Run Methuselah.
