Interesting Aaron. Have never had to do that. There are many schools running it with Win 7 64-bit. Will take note of this if anyone else reports it. Thanks.

My OS has all updates. I finally got the SRN Server working by downloading and manually registering the .ocx file in my syswow64 folder (solution suggested by others online). Thanks for your quick reply!

Hi Aaron, Greig is right. SRN does work fine with 64-bit Windows 7. Please ensure all Windows updates have been applied. This is usually the cause of the issue.

SRN works fine on WIn 7 64bit. You probably need to install .net . The latest version is .net 4. Do a google search for .net 4 and install it. Another issue may be needing to allow the app to work through your firewall. When SRN server starts a firewall popup should appear if it needs to be allowed.

Hi, I am trying to run the Server on a Windows 7 64-bit machine but keep getting the “Run-time error ’339′: component MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.”

Research online indicates this means your program can’t run under Windows 7 64-bit. Is this what you’ve found? Are there workarounds? A new version being developed?

Absolutely. The teacher’s (server) PC can be either wired or wireless, but the iPod/iPads must be 802.11 wireless (not 3G) connected to the same network as the server.

For clarification, the server would be on a wired LAN. Just wondering if ipad touch and iphone would be able to work as clients if the server is not set up on a wireless connection.

Maybe a silly question but can the iphone and ipad touch be used for a LAN wired connection or only from one that is set up wireless.

Yes Greig. I’ve already discovered App Inventor, but time will be the issue. I’m currently working on an iPad version.

Hi Stu
Are you looking to produce an Android version of SRN. App Inventor would b perfect for an easy to use IDE for its development.
