Iconpackager conflicts with Visual Studio

July 9, 2005 12:12 PM from

Hi,

If you have Iconpackager 3.0 or 3.0a installed you can't use visual studio
without de-registering the iprepair.dll

To make this program work:

from the start --> run (or a command prompt) type:
regsvr32 /u iprepair.dll
and all will be good again.

Any chance of this getting fixed anytime soon?

Hi,

Yeah it also won't allow Paint Shop Pro to start.

All I did to fix Visual Studio and PSP was to go into IconPackager Menu to Tools and unchecked the Repair Shell Icons. It is the iprepair.dll that causes this.

I don't know why that would be enabled unless I wanted to repair my shell icons.

Later

Directory Opus ( explorer replacement ), Snagit to name but two . I haven't re-installed IP yet so don't know if this is still the case ( I'm not going to re-install either until I'm absolutely sure it's fixed - had to re-install windows to get rid of problems ) .

Windows XP-SP 2 ( all updates ), Dutch

Thanks Evorg

I also went into IconPackager Menu to Tools and unchecked the Repair Shell Icons. It took care of problems I was having also.

AVAST
DYMO Label
and other window programs are not open and working.

Thanks again for great heads up.
