FTS Manual Installation, Troubleshooting and System Reference Page

This page is created for specific troubleshooting purposes.  It can also be used to create a CD that lets you run the FTS system from a PC if you are having installation problems with.  However, you must always complete complete Step 1 or at least check that the OCX files are present on the system you are trying to use. Then burn a CD from steps 2 and 3 and run ftsInstall.exe before launching any of the FTS software.

• Step 1: Check that the following .OCX files are in the system32 subfolder of your windows folder (e.g., windows, or winnt or equivalent).

  If they are missing then install the FTS libraries, otherwise continue to Step 2. Right-click on each of the next three links, select "Save Target As," and then save each file in your Windows\System32 folder or Winnt\System32 folder whatever is relevant. The MSWINSCK file must be either directly entered into the system32 folder or registered on your windows system.

  • MSWINSCK.OCX
  • MSFLXGRD.OCX

   

• Step 2: Install the FTS libraries. Right-click on each of the next three links, select "Save Target As," and then save each file in your Windows\System32 folder or Winnt\System32 folder whatever is relevant.  Alternatively, you can save these files to an alternative folder (e.g., fts) if you do not have access to the SYSTEM32 folder.
  • Option Libraries
  • Equity Libraries
  • Bond Libraries

   

• Step 3:  Install or just download missing files.  The following additional files can be  downloaded to your fts folder (or wherever you are storing the files.

  Important Note: The .exe files below all have the extension renamed to .eee --- this is for download purposes only.  This is because you cannot download an extension .exe this way.  So instead first download the file with .eee and then rename the extension to .exe on your local computer.

   

  • ASYCFILT.DLL
  • CMD.EXE
  • cmdproxy.exe
  • COMCAT.DLL
  • Comdlg32.ocx
  • CREGSVR32.EXE
  • ftsInstall.exe
  • MSVBVM60.DLL
  • OLEAUT32.DLL
  • OLEPRO32.DLL
  • STDOLE2.TLB

  Note for Creating a System CD:  If you want to create a self contained CD from steps 2 and 3 you can.  This allows you to run the FTS system by first inserting a CD with the files from step 2 and 3 on it.  Running FTS requires two steps:

  First, run ftsInstall.exe and

  Second, launch any FTS module, trader, market or other executable.

• Step 4 (Only for Troubleshooting Purposes): This step is only required if you get a system error that a particular control is not registered correctly.  Run regsvr32.exe as follows:  Open a DOS window and go to the folder you want to register it from (e.g., winnt/system32) and enter the following (let suppose you need to register MSWINSCK.OCX)

Example:  go to winnt/system32 and run:

regsvr32 MSWINSCK.OCX

• regsvr32.eee
