[ACK] Smart Tags broken in 6.3 SR1

I am also having issues applying the fix... my system does not like the command please see the attached screen shot.  I need help!!

I´m running the 32 bit office, so I will try the Powershell.  

Thank you very much!!

Blessings,

Dave,

I did a search for the two items (I hope I did it correctly, I am not an expert at this) and I took screen shots of the results.

Thank you,

Nelson

Brother Dave,

There is only one file inside the folder.  Please take a look at the attached screen shot.

Thank you,

Nelson

Dave,

Just making sure... update the whole Logos application?

We've created a Windows PowerShell script (the modern equivalent of a Command Prompt batch file) to register Logos COM and Logos Smart Tags for 32 bit Office. On most Windows versions, PowerShell comes with script execution disabled by default, so if you haven't already, you'll need to set the PowerShell execution policy to allow script execution, as described in step 1. 

1. Run PowerShell as Administrator (Windows key, type PowerShell, right-click on Winodws PowerShell in the list and choose Run as administrator, click Yes on the User Account Control dialog). In the PowerShell window, type Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned <Enter>. Hit Y <Enter> to make the change. Close PowerShell.
2. Download the RegisterSmartTags.ps1 script from http://downloads.logoscdn.com/LBS6/Support/RegisterSmartTags.ps1.
3. In Windows Explorer, find the script, right-click and choose Run with PowerShell. Since the script is signed by Logos Bible Software, choose Open from the Open File - Security Warning dialog, if displayed.
4. The script calls RegSvr32.exe to register the Logos Smart Tags dll, L4SmrtTg.dll, which should display a RegSvr32 dialog message similar to, "DllRegisterServer in C:\Users\Bryan\AppData\Local\Logos\6.3.0.0074\L4SmrtTg.dll succeeded.", click OK.
5. The PowerShell window should list details about registering, ending with the message "Finished successfully. Hit a key to exit..." Logos COM and Logos Smart Tags for 32 bit Office should now be registered.
6. If you see an error message, such as "Failed to...", please post back here and I'll check it out, otherwise hit any key to exit PowerShell.

You can also register COM and Logos Smart Tags for Verbum and Noet:

1. Open PowerShell (Windows key, type PowerShell and click)
2. type cd <path-to-RegisterSmartTags.ps1> <Enter>, e.g. cd C:\Users\Bryan\Downloads <Enter>
3. type RegisterSmartTags.ps1 -Noet <Enter> or RegisterSmartTags.ps1 -Verbum <Enter>

Hopefully this script will help resolve any lingering COM registration issues. Please let me know if you have problems or questions.

Thanks,

Bryan

Nelson, smart tags were not working for me in Logos 6.4. I followed the instructions above and they are now working. I recommend following Bryan's instructions.

Good to hear. Good work

6.4 SR2 broke my Smart Tags, too. Since I executed the script right AFTER updating to SR3 (I couldn't tell from L6's notification message whether it was a resource update or a software update, & I was expecting resources), I don't know which fixed the problem Either way, it's fixed now.

The first time I commented on my problems with smart tags I think I may have misdirected the post. Here is what I wrote:

OK, I have joined the broken Smarttags club at Logos. For me, it is now broken with 6.4 SR-3. I am running a Windows 7 64 bit system with 64 bit Office 2013.

I think I've tried everything. I tried registering L4SmrtTg.dll again. It seemed to register OK. But when I right click a reference Word "stops responding" for several minutes before finally coming out of the "waiting" and nothing has happened.

I tried using the powershell script. Still broken.

I tried registering LSmtTg64.dll, and I get the message that it successfully registers, but Word 2013 never sees anything except the L4SmrtTg.dll

I know that the right click of references worked fine up until a few weeks ago. I can only surmise that 6.4 SR-3 breaks the feature again, but it seems no one else is commenting about it in the forum.

I would appreciate any help I can get. I don't use the feature every day, but I do have a project right now where it would save me a lot of work and hassle.

Thanks.

I've tried everything suggested in the thread, but without success. I am hoping there will eventually be a solution.

Thanks.

After commenting it was also not working for me, it starting working when I tried it later that day!

This may not have been the case with you, but sometimes I think smart tags aren't working and then remember that they only work when Logos is running.

This is a call for help! I have a similar problem as others in this thread, but when I run the registersmarttags script in Powershell, I get this error message.

I am using Logos 6 on a 64-bit machine.

Thanks for the response, Dave Hooton!

I can run Logos, but I'm in a location at the moment with an expensive internet connection. I have automatic updates turned off. I had to recently re-install everything on my computer, including Logos 6. Logos wants to download 2.3GB of updates. I imagine that when I have completed that step, this current problem should work itself out and I'll be able to register Smart Tags.

After my earlier post, I followed the steps in this thread and got the smart tags successfully registered on another machine of mine which was having similar trouble. Paratext and Logos are now communicating on that machine. But, the wireless is dead on that one.

I live in Papua New Guinea. The internet cost here for 2.3GB will be about U$40.00. Ouch!

Just wondering about the title of this post. What does ACK mean? Is it just a computer geeks way of saying "dang it" or does it actually stand for something?

This day I installed Office 16. In Office 2013 smart tags worked very well (in every version of Logos). However it ís impossible for me to get them working in Office 16. Does anyone have the same experience and is there a solution available?

Kind greetings

Hans

Too soon, as my Office 365 subscription is still on the 2013 version.

didn't know it was out....I must live under a rock these days...my Office365 is 2013 also and this is the first time I've seen any mention of 2016...guess it shows Office has along with most other software has become just an occasional tool for me these days.. Logos is the only software besides web browser that I really use on my computer on a regular basis.

I have 32 bit Office current installed (Office 2016), I tried the troubleshooting and I don't get anything in the menus for smart tags.

I now have 64 bit installed - not sure why it defaulted to loading Word x32 and not x64. Here is the screen shot:

So I checked, the Additional Actions was now there, which was NOT there for the 32 bit version of Office 2016. So I thought it might work. I saw this next when I tested it:

Not there, yet I see this when I click on options:

These were ok:

1. Does “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{319A0316-DF84-4B3C-8117-349B7E98E613}” exist? If so, delete it. (DID NOT EXIST)
2. “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{81490292-5570-4D02-A2AC-7B828DBD0A8A}\1.0\0\win64” should exist and contain the path to LogosCom.exe.(CORRECT)
3. If “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{81490292-5570-4D02-A2AC-7B828DBD0A8A}\1.0\0\win32” exists, delete it. (DID NOT EXIST)

Thanks Bradley!
