Files with a DLL or OCX extension are normally registered during the installation process - whether Sage 100 ERP, the Workstation Setup client setup, Crystal Reports Designer, or some other program that installs them.

The following procedures should not be necessary unless an error or issue indicates a file is unregistered.

1. Close all errors and Sage 100 task windows. Exit Sage 100 ERP
2. Open Task Manager (simultaneously press the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys, and select Task Manager), and end any Pvxwin32.exe tasks.
3. Manually register the DLL files using the following procedures:

For Sage MAS 90 and 200 4.10 and later:

Note: Use only the registration files specific to your Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage MAS 90 or 200) version. For example, using the version 4.20 Regcom.bat for version 4.10 may not successfully register the correct files.

Run RegCom.bat to register all .DLL and .OCX files for Sage 100 ERP

1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the following location:
   • Versions 2020 and higher
     • C:\Program Data\Sage\Common Components

• Versions 4.20 thru 2019:
  • For 64-bit operating systems: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Sage\Common Components
  • For 32-bit operating systems: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sage\Common Components
• Version 4.10: "...\MAS90\Home"

1. Run RegCom.bat to register all DLL files. Nothing may appear to happen, but the files should register successfully.
   • Note: RegCom.bat for version 4.10 contains /s switches to suppress errors. To display errors, create a backup copy and remove the switches. This requires familiarity and understanding of how to edit batch files.
2. If the registration fails, or if the original error persists, use the manual registration process below.

Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage MAS 90 or 200) version 4.05 and earlier:
