6. Troubleshooting
1. I get the error "Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" error when I try to open the program. Or I get the same error but for other files such as "richtx32.ocx".

Firstly, this error is not what I would say common, but is not rare either. Eventually someone sends a reports regarding this, and normally, it is because some other program removed system libraries without any scruple. Normally when it comes to software, there are some common libraries that are shared by many applications, and well designed software must ensure not to remove them, in order not to affect other programs, but not everyone is careful about this - not even Microsoft, as Internet Explorer 8 install might cause the MSCOMCTL.OCX to be removed.

But, the fix most times is quite easy: just run the program install setup again. The setup of 7 Sticky Notes is designed to re-register any missing file on your system, and installing the program again should fix the problem. Also, the setup is designed to never change your data, so reinstalling the program will not change any of your notes or configurations.

2. I get the "Installation Error Setup cannot find EnterpriseWW\EnterpriseWW.msi" message when try to running 7 Sticky Notes.

This is a known Microsoft Office 2007 problem, that is not related directly to 7 sticky Notes as it can occur when launching other programs too. As suggested by many forums online, it seems that reinstalling Microsoft Office 2007 solves this problem of the frequent pop messages for the EnterpriseWW.msi. In the specific case of 7 Sticky Notes, uninstalling Office 2007 and 7 Sticky Notes at the same time and then reinstalling both of them seemed to fix and stop these annoying messages. So reinstall both Office 2007 and 7 Sticky Notes to solve the problem.

3. The program does not work and I get the error "Could not find the file 'C:\7 Sticky Notes\notes.mdb'" when trying to run 7 Sticky Notes portable in Windows 7.

Specifically here, the problem is that Windows 7, regardless if you are admin or not, does not allow a software (7 Sticky Notes or any other) to be changing things on a C:\ folder. When the program is run for the first time, it creates the database file (notes.mdb, which in this case is located inside the program folder in the portable mode) and other files as well, but Windows does not allow this and so the program errors and does not work. This problem can be easily reproduced by running the program from c:\ in Windows 7, so the solution is just a matter of moving the 7 Sticky Notes Portable folder away from C:\.
