Experiencing problems running Solixa on Windows Vista?
Windows Vista is funny with how it handles runtime files. If you are reading this its likely that you are one of the many users out there experiencing problems with the missing OCX files.

Solution:
Please follow the instruction below to get Solixa working on your vista machine.

Step #1:
Click on your start button and then go to run. In the run dialog type "cmd" without the "'s and then press enter, this should bring you to your DOS Prompt.

Step #2:
When you launch Solixa you will notice that its saying that a file is missing when in fact its not really missing just not registered properly. to fix this write down the file name and then enter these commands into your DOS Prompt window.

Step #3:
Below are examples of common files that aren't registered properly simply replace the .ocx file with the one that is missing when you try to launch solixa.
Note: The capitalization of the filename is not important.

Common Examples:
regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx /u
regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx /u
regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx /u


After running each command you will see a window appear saying "DllUnregisterServer in {filename} succeeded."
