I am currently running the 64bit version of Win 8 and I can confirm this works correctly in registering the .ocx files.

Unfortunately I am having trouble after running both item editor and NPC loot editor.

For the Item Editor it begins to load then

Error in Connecting to the database - perhaps a missing version field in the Variables Table?

and then the program proceeds to load correctly. When i click start I get another error,

Run-time error '-2147024894(80070002) Automation error The system cannot find the specified file

The NPC loot editor begins to load then

Error in Connecting to the database - Did you register all the files?

But then proceeds to load correctly and accesses the zones with mobs. I know I registered all the files because I ran Lerxst's command and they all came back as successful, but Im just curious on why this would display. Perhaps because Im operating on Win8?

I know my DB.ini file is correct because the spell import/export tool works correctly as well, and the only difference between the two db.ini is one specifies the EQ folder path which I know is correct.
