Possible solution to PhysX error

Can't get in the game because there's an error with PhysX? Already installed PhysX but the game still can't find it? Then I may have a solution for this problem.

During my search on this error, I stumbled upon this thread on the nvidia geforce forums about an error on PhysX.

What it's basically saying is that this happens when you uninstall certain antiviruses that doesn't change back the registry value needed to recognize PhysX software, which is why the game couldn't see it was installed. ( I finally got this problem for once as well, after I uninstalled mcaffee)

So here’s what you need to do in detail:

1- find regedit and run it as administrator.
2- Find the following directory:

Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Classes/CLSID/{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}/InprocServer32
(a 1 2 3 on regedit. you have to click the + icons instead of double clicking the folders or you won't find it)
3- Right-click InprocServer32 folder and select Permission(7th choice)
4- Once there, select SYSTEM from the first list and then tick Full control on the second list.
5- Now double click the “(default)” registry key on the right(name depends on language settings)
6- Change the value to:

Code:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vbscript.dll
and save it.

And you’re done. If you are afraid that you might mess up and destroy your computer, wait until I try and create a script that will do it all for you. It may take a while since I need to learn a few things before I can and I need permission from fruit first.

I hope this will fix any problems you have with PhysX and if it doesn’t, feel free to ask me any questions and I’ll try to help you.
