    Running Eclipse on Windows Vista

    Introduction

    Welcome to a fresh tutorial of me, Godlord. In this tutorial I am going to show you how you do get Eclipse running on Windows Vista. Yes, you've heard it Vista. With this tutorial you're also able to run a lot of other programs which wouldn't have ran before. So fasten your seatbelt and let's start.


    Requirements

    For this tutorial you need of course Windows Vista but it's also required to be logged in as an Administrator. If you aren't an administrator then you won't be able to do this tutorial so first get yourself logged in as an administrator.


    User Account Control

    So, I am logged in as an administrator, so what now? We are now going to disable the whole user account control. This thing enhances security on Windows Vista but this also messes with a lot of programs. Thereby were going to put it off. UAC or not a computer can always get broken.

    We're going to disable the UAC. Open the control panel and type "UAC" in the search box.  The first result you'll normally get returned by the search function will be normally "User Accounts - Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off.". Click on it and the UAC window will open. De-select the option "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer" and press the O.K. button. Windows Vista will now request to restart your PC, restart it. After Vista has started up the UAC should be disabled.

    Although Microsoft doesn't suggest this, you should turn it off if you want to run a lot of programs. You can get a lot of other programs to secure your system instead.


    Getting the missing libraries

    Microsoft removed DirectX 7 and 8 for Visual Basic from the System32 directory or SysWOW64 on 64-bit. You can simply download DirectX 7 for Visual Basic and DirectX 8 for Visual Basic from my website. If you have downloaded them then you should put them in "C:\WINDOWS\System32" on Windows Vista x32 or "C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\" on Windows Vista x64. If you aren't sure which version you have then check if you have the "SysWOW64" folder in "C:\WINDOWS" if not then you have x32 else you will have x64. (Or some idiot made that folder there to have a few jokes with you.).

    Now you can register the two DLL files. You can do this by typing:
    Quote
    cd C:\WINDOWS\System32\
    regsvr32 dx7vb.dll
    regsvr32 dx8vb.dll
    In a console, "cd C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\" for 64-bit Vista ;).

    Or you can just open one DLL with... And then you select "C:\WINDOWS\System32\Regsvr32" as the program, remember SysWOW64 on Vista 64-bit. Then you tick the box to always open it with that. Then you can just click on the other DLL and you have registered both DLL files.


    Done

    Wow that was not that hard. You can now run Eclipse on Vista and probably a lot of other programs too ;). Enjoy it.


    To do

    - Adding screenshots, I will be making them later on ;)...


    Regards, Godlord.

    Nicely done. The downloads on your website weren't working for some reason. They were saved as .exe files. Running them did nothing, and trying to register them after changing them to .dll files also did nothing. I found the two files on the internet and got it working though. Now I guess I can mess around on Eclipse again. :D

    They were saved as .dll when I uploaded them. Lol it's probably Linux doing gay or something. I downloaded them from my site as and I just got dx8vb.dll. I then put it in my System32 folder and registered it wine regsvr32. So it's kind of weird that it doesn't work for you :/.

    When I open it with the regsvr32 it says;

    The module
    "C:\Windows\System32\DirectX80Aeng9xme.dll" May not be compatible with the version of windows you're running.
    Check if the module is compatible with with an x86(32-bit) or X64 (64-Bit) Version of regserver32.exe.

    I downloaded  the Direct X files from THIS tut...

    Read it more carefully...

    It wouldn't affect your start menu at all.

    Yes, people with Vista should do this in order to play.

    Read the tutorial for God's sake. You probably get that message because your UAC is either not disabled or because you didn't run RegSvr32 in administrator mode.
