I downloaded the latest version (9.3) onto my lenovo thinkpad which is running windows 10, and when I try to run EP-Launch it comes up with a message saying "Component 'MSINET.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." I tried unistalling and reinstalling as well as restarting my laptop and it is still giving me the same error message.
This is a known bug in 9.3 that was fixed after the release, cf issue#7973
Confirm that the "missing" file is present in C:\Windows\SysWOW64
Then open a command prompt (cmd.exe) as an administrator and type the following registration command:
regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\<missing-file-name.extension>
In your specific case:
regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSINET.OCX
Step by step instructions with images to make sure you get through it:
1.Open cmd.exe as admin:
2.Type the commands to register the DLL/OCX (the first one - dir - is optional, you can check in the File Explorer instead to ensure that the missing OCX is correctly placed atC:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSINET.OCX)

Unmethours is software agnostic, so please do mention the software you're using explicitly, including tagging it correctly as a "EnergyPlus" question in this case. thanks!
Thank you, EPLaunch is now working properly.
