Resolution

Note: Error 1904 is a well-known Windows operating system error. Microsoft’s support web site and various on-line resources discuss and cover various instances of DLL registration failure for a variety of reasons.
Resolution 1:

• Click Ignore. In some situations, this completes the client installation and Sage MAS 90 or 200 functions correctly.

Resolution 2:
Reinstall with additional security/permissions opened:

1. First of all, make sure to map a drive to the shared location above the “..\MAS90” directory, on the server where Sage 100 ERP is installed.
2. Then log onto the workstation as an Administrator with Full Control of the “..\MAS90” directory on the server where Sage 100 ERP is installed.
3. Next, from the workstation’s Windows desktop, open Start, Control Panel, User Accounts, Change User Account Control Settings (if the option is not there, use the Search Control Panel field to search for “Change User Account Control Settings”) to set it to “Never Notify”
   (Note: This may require a reb.oot. On Windows Vista machines, this is a radio button option).
4. Access the mapped drive location (e.g. “X:\\MAS90\WkSetup” (where “X” is the mapped drive letter).
   Finally, right-click Autorun.exe and select “Run as Administrator”, then install Workstation Setup

Resolution 3:
Register the file manually. To register a specific ActiveX object, follow the steps below:

1. Click the Start button and click Run
2. Next, in the Open field, type the command below, where [path and file] are specified in the error:
   REGSVR32
3. Click OK. A message stating that the file was registered should appear

Resolution 4:

• Consider re-acquiring the installation files, then extract again (if needed) and reinstall.

Resolution 5:
If Windows Updates were recently installed, restart the machine getting the error and then install Sage 100.

1. Cancel workstation installation.
2. See Related Resources for more details on Sage 100 Workstation install.
