I would like just to use this particular program. I'm trying to install it, specifically the version described here: http://www.ysgyfarnog.co.uk/utilities/mousegestures/old/

This version is declared to be compatible with Internet Explorer 5 or greater, and requires Windows 98/Windows NT 4 or greater, but does not really work.

The installer seems to work, it copies the two files correctly, creates the registry key for the uninstall, but (strange!) it fails to register MouseGestures.dll

Same result for the latest version.

It's possible that the requirements presented are wrong? What do you think?

What do you mean "it fails to register"?

Can you try manually registering it with regsvr32?

Meanwhile i have tried in another mode. I have copied the related registry keys from another pc (no 98) into my computer.

Now, when i open IE6, i found a mouse gestures item into tools menù. If i click on it, i obtain an IE crash, caused by MouseGestures.dll.

Thanks Jaclaz for your help, i already tried unsuccessful a manual registration with regsvr32. I forgot to specify it before.

Maybe the "false" info is about IE 5 and greater combined with the OS.

IE6 should be supported fine, actually up to IE7 Beta1:

maybe it is the combination of Win98 and IE6 that causes the issue.

Nope :-/

I couldn't resist the temptation to check on the field. I have just set up a 98SE fresh installation for testing.

With original IE5.0: negative

With IE5.5: negative
