EViews32Com.exe Entry Point Not Found in seats.dll

[JeffvdN]

I started having trouble with the x13 command. I think it works but I was trying to use a stored spec file and when I did that, it seemed to be running fine (the .out and .d11 files are fine), but the seasonally adjusted data was all NA when it was imported back to the eviews workfile. I need to figure out what is going on there, but first...

I decided to do an uninstall/reinstall.

Now I get this error message during the installation.

Eviews32Com.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point _TAKEDETTRAMO@44 could not be located in the dynamic link library c:\program files\Eviews 10\seats.dll.

I was trying to install the 64 bit so I was surprised that it said Eviews32Com.exe.

My copy of eviews is a EViews 10 Single User Standard license.

Any idea what the problem is? If I am not using seats, does it matter? The rest of the installation seemed to work.

If I upgrade to v12 will this go away?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hello Jeff,

If you do not use TRAMO SEATS, then the error should be inconsequential.

If you still wish to get a clean installation, however, I would start EViews and then select Options->General Options. In the left pane, select File locations. Next click on the folder icon next the Temp File Path edit box. This should open a Windows Explorer window. Navigate up a directory and then delete the directory you were just in. This directory should have been named ev_temp.

From here I would uninstall again and then also delete the C:\program files\EViews 10 directory.

Now try installing again.

I tried what you suggested and am still getting the same error message. I moved the tmp folder, then deleted it, then uninstalled, then deleted it again. The uninstall seemed to delete the Eviews folder in the program files folder so there was nothing to erase. Then I reinstalled and got the same error message.

I probably will upgrade one of these days and don't expect to use tramo seats for a while so I guess this isn't high priority. Still, if you have any other suggestions I would be happy to try it.

Thanks for your help.

I have the same error message on a clean installation of Eviews 14.
How can I activate Tramo-seats?
Thank you

Which error message?

[zezza]

The error message during installation is

Eviews32Com.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point _TAKEDETTRAMO@44 could not be located in the dynamic link library c:\program files\Eviews 10\seats.dll.

Thank you

Try re-registering your COM components in EViews 14.

Seats & Tramo are both older 32-bit only libraries that require the EViews32Com.exe COM server in order to be used by EViews 64-bit. This COM component needs to be registered by EViews 14 itself, but looking at your error msg, it looks like the EXE under "EViews 10" is the one that is currently registered. And for some reason, the seats.dll is missing from that folder?

To re-register, type in the command: REGCOM and hit Enter. Then click "Yes (All)" button. Note: this function requires you to have local admin rights in order to run successfully.
