Psst! teaching package does not behave well under Windows Vista.
PSST PSST BIRD UPDATE
Update Jan 2008: It has come to our attention that the Please don't put the inverted commas around the commands! I think that covers it. In this command window then type: "cd c:\program files\psst!", then to register the two OCX files type: "regsvr32.exe softbttn.ocx", "regsvr32.exe dialobj.ocx". This is easily done by typing cmd into the "Search programs and files" box on the Start menu, then when CMD appears you should right-click it and chooise "Run as Administrator". The "as Administrator" is important otherwise they will not register. Then run the command prompt (cmd.exe) as Administrator. To do this you should copy these from the c:\Windows\system32 folder into the Psst! installation folder.
PSST PSST BIRD INSTALL
You will also need to register two OCX files that fail to register on install (softbttn.ocx & dialobj.ocx). From this file copy msvbvm50.dll to the Psst! installation folder (c:\program files\psst!). You will need to make sure that you have the VB5 runtime dll. There are additional problems with the two applications that require Visual Basic (v5). please download the vista-patch.zip and follow the instructions in the Psst! Vista text file it contains. The solution is the same for Vista however i.e. Update May 2010: Not unexpectedly the same issue with the Psst! teaching package that was experienced in Windows Vista is still present in Windows 7. Not as slick as a proper installer, but functional I think. I bundled the contents of the vista-patch.zip and the VBv5 runtime dll in the too to simplify the process. Remember not to put the inverted commas around the commands! Give it a whirl and let me know how you get on. In this command window then type: "cd c:\program files\psst!", then to register the four OCX files type: "regsvr32.exe softbttn.ocx", "regsvr32.exe dialobj.ocx", "regsvr32.exe comdlg32.ocx", "regsvr32.exe comctl32.ocx". You should unzip the file - best in c:\program files\psst!, then you need to register the four ocx files contained therein. Seems the 32bit installer will not run at all! To circumvent this I have zipped up the install set. Second Update May 2010: I've had word (and then experienced it myself) that Win7 64bit (and therefore presumably other 64-bit versions of Windows) cannot install the Psst! Software.
