1. Download and install the Microsoft DHTML Editing Control.
2. Download and install BookDesigner Installer & BookDesigner Update from http://www.bookdesigner.org
3. Browse to C:\Program Files\ and right-click on the Book Designer 4.0 folder. Select Properties. Go to the Security tab. Select Edit, select your user-id. Grant yourself full access to the directory (check the boxes under allow).
4. Create the folder "Sony Reader", and "LastFile" in the Book Designer 4.0 folder.
5. Open a Command Prompt, as Administrator. (Right-click on the menu item and select run as administrator.) Go to the Book Designer 4.0 directory, and run the following command: regsvr32 GflAx.dll. This dll was copied to the BD by the update, and needs to be registered to get graphics (such as browse for a cover page) to work properly. |
Step 2 is only partly correct. The problem is that the update is incomplete and unless you've gone through the 4.0 install and then ALL the other updates as they came out, you'll have problems. What you can do however to easily solve this problem is go to
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=78249 and download the update in the first message which is complete. I made sure it was. Now once you use it to update, it'll be a complete update.
The reason you need step 4 is because you've installed Book Designer in Program Files which is a no-no (according to others) because Book Designer writes to it's own directory in a way that is not correct for Vista. Best to install under the root of C: instead.
