If you're getting an interface not supported error, it means that you've got a registry entry problem that needs to be fixed. You need to follow these steps. This works for XP and WIN7

1. Download this to the customers machine, you may need to open up an ftp client, go to the folder and download this manually : ftp.windward-ca.com/pub/special/Part_Smart_Fix.zip
2. Unzip it an open the folder
3. ! You don't need the Part.exe unless you're really having problems !
4. All you need to do is modify the registry file, open PartSmart_Win7.reg in a text editor and do a search for BIN, and replace the path for all of these to the location of your bin folders. If you want to use Partsmart for a live bin and a training bin, then you'll need to modify this file twice and register it twice for these locations. So if ever you move the bin folder to another location, you'll need to reregister this file with a new path:
5. EXAMPLE:- Say I have my bin folder at F:\APPS\SystemFive\bin44 Then what I would do is open up the PartSmart_Win7.reg in a text editor, and replace paths like these C:\\WINDWARD\\SYSTEM5\\BIN
   TO F:\\APPS\\SystemFive\\bin44 You always need double slashes, and remember to keep the program at the end, i.e. if the path is C:\\WINDWARD\\SYSTEM5\\BIN\\SystemFive.exe THEN your new path will be F:\\APPS\\SystemFive\\bin44\\SystemFive.exe
6. If after doing this you begin to get Class Not Registered errors, then you'll need to copy the Part.exe in from this unzipped folder, to the bin location and overwrite the Part.exe in there. ONLY do this if you're still not able to get it to work after registering the aforementioned file, and double check your setup.
7. This is documented in the Readme file in the zip, so if you have further issues, please consult this.
