Since I've built up my new rig and I'm running XP Pro, I'm getting errors
when I try to run VROC.
I get a message 'Richedit10ansiwndproc' can't be found.
Am I missing some kind of VB file or something ?
IJ
Old news. Rename the file riched20.dll to something else and the error goes away.

I can't join any of the races, which renders VROC useless. Is there any old
news which sorts this out

Reset path to gpl.exe?
Should show GPL 1.2.0.1 If it shows 0.0.0.0 then the path to gpl.exe is
incorrect
Tony
It shows 1.2.0.1 and the path is correctly guided to GPL. If GPL has been
put under C:\ program files\sierra\gpl , could that be the problem ??

from http://www.vroc.net/ : "In WinVROC, go to the Options sheet and make
sure that the path to GPL is actually pointing to your GPL installation.
Even if you think it is, reselect it.
This is necessary because WinVROC has a bug. It requires a backslash on the
end of the path, like this: C:\SIERRA\GPL\ Unfortunately the default path
WinVROC puts in this field lacks this required backslash, causing much
confusion. "
I guess that helps. so try C:\program files\sierra\gpl\

I get the same message and have XP, but searching the drive for riched20.dll
comes back with nothing. Now what? It's not preventing VROC from working
once I push past the error message, which appears twice, but it's very
annoying.

Before renaming the file, since it is a system file and related to any Office programs you may be running, you may want to try running System File Checker from Start/Run by typing "SFC /scannow" (without quotes) to repair the file first. Additional information about SFC is available in Windows XP's Help and Support.
Riched20.dll (along with riched32.dll) is in the Windows XP c:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. You may not have changed the view of all files, so cannot see it. Go into Windows Explorer, click on Tools/Folder Options and go into the View tab. Under Files and Folders at the top is a sub-directory "Hidden files and folders." Click on the radial button to the left of "Show hidden files and folders." Then go down three more lines and take the check mark out of the box to the left of "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended). You should now be able to find riched20.dll in the system32 folder.

I also got this error on my PC running WinXP Pro and was able to fix it by
simply running it in Win98 compatibility mode. Right button click the
shortcut for VROC and choose properties. Select the compatibility tab and
tick the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" checkbox and select
Win98/ME. No need to worry about Riched20.dll.

I just deleted the riched file in the Vroc folder, never had an error or
problem since.

If you get green races but no join option, check the following:
a/ Make sure GPL and WINVROC _don't_ use Windows 98 compatibilty mode.
b/ Make sure there is a driver active in GPL.
c/ Check if there is a file named MULTI.LYT in the GPL/LAYOUT folder.
If not, reinstall the GPL 1.2 patch.

Vintook, next post, I found the file in WinVROC and may just rename or
delete it. All you help is greatly appreciated.

this i ask myself why i would ever want to bother upgrading when
evrything works now. i understand, somewhere down the road things will
change and GPL friends i've come to know will be spread across other
sims. but my qustions is twofold:
1) HOW DO YOU GUYS KNOW THIS STUFF?!
2) is there a place on the net where its accumulated for folks to go
and try when they finally do take the plunge?
thx
