Hello Ea Team! When i was a kid i loved the game game nox. I kept playing until more games came out. I lost it a few years back but I recently found it. 1 thing: The 1st disc was cracked in half. I was wondering if you could give me a download link to the game or something? My serial number for the game is [Personal Information - Removed]

NOX won't run on windows 10 due to an older version of OLEAUT32.DLL

I have downloaded the update from a few different sites and restarted my computer to retry the setup and I still get the same error message. HELP!

@dusty8958 Hi,

 

You said you downloaded the update, where did you do that? And do you mean for the .dll file or for NOX?

 

Cheers,

Nils

@dusty8958 Hi again,

 

Alright, in that case I would suggest that you use the System File Checker as highlighted here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie/kb/929833

 

Let me know whether that helps in restoring the file and let's you proceed.

 

Cheers,

Nils

I have the original 2-disc set with a product key. It also comes with a vbrun60.exe on the disc, but it doesn't work after using that either. Here is an attachment of the original error message in a screenshot.

@dusty8958 Alright, so I suppose you had tried to run this file as instructed, but without success?

You could also try installing the Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0 here to see where that let's you proceed: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24417

I ran the system checker it said that windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations.

Yes, I have tried that. It was the first download I had tried.
