First of all, you will need to actually download the program.
You need to download iBot v1.0.89, iBot v1.0.89b, and iBot v1.0.89c.
You’re going to need to create a folder for ibot to install into. Extract the rar files you downloaded into the folder you just created, in order from v1.0.89, v1.0.89b, v1.0.89c. The first extraction is the program itself, and update b and c are just patches, you probably don’t even need to worry about using patch b. Go into the folder and run ” ibot.exe “. Now, more often than not, it won’t actually work on the first run, this is generally because your firewall and/or resident shield is blocking it. You can either turn off your firewall and resident shield, or add ” ibot.exe ” to the bypass lists.
If you’re very unlucky, and ibot still isn’t working, you’ll need to follow these steps. Go into the folder you installed ibot into, and oepn ” iBot_Necessities “. Inside this folder should be four .OCX files, register each of the files using either the WinXP or Win7 version. If your registration tools give you errors about how the files failed to register, then it’s because the tool is having a hard time copying the files to the proper directory. On Windows XP, the files should be copied to: C:\Windows\system32.
However, on Windows 7, some things can’t be done even if you do provide admin permissions. The Win7 registration tool attempts to copy the .OCX files to C:\Windows\SysWOW64, which, on most Win7 installations, doesn’t exist. So, go to your Windows directory and create a folder called ‘SysWOW64′. Copy the .OCX files from the iBot dependencies folder into your new folder.
Run the Win7 registration tool as an administrator. From now on, run ibot.exe as an administrator and it should work like a charm!
