Sim Client Help

[nickerjones]

Hey I am trying to put the client onto my mac. I am using bootcamp and trying to install it on the windows side I partitioned off.

I downloaded the client and the support files. It says the support files were installed. When I go to click the STHS file and open it a pop comes up and says " the application failed to initialize properly" .

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do ? I tried removing the files and it says the same thing.

Are you booting into Windows with bootcamp or using Parallels or VMWare Fusion?

Windows XP?

I would just try to re-install the support files and then restart the computer.

just to make sure im downloading the correct files... here on this page http://sths.simont.info/Download_En.php

I only see support files for version 1 .. correct?

Go down to the bottom of that page and download the top two files under Third-Part support, "Visual Basic 6.0 Redist" and ".NET Framework 2.0 Redist". After you install them, it should work.

I wrote a thread on how to get the sim to work on the Mac. I'll try and find it when I get back to the office, I'm on my phone.
