in case other people were having problems with getting kimera working on windows vista when the error is 'missing msstdfmt.dll" i have found a solution that will probably work for other people.
This will only work with Vista.
-----------
First, go to:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msstdfmtand download msstdfmt.dll. Unzip it, and drop the .dll file into C:\Windows\system32
Go to start->all programs->accessories->run
type the following:
regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\msstdfmt.dll
You'll probably get an error message: 0x8002081c
Search your computer for msconfig.exe
Open msconfig, and go to the last tab, Tools
Scroll down the list for disable UAC. Select it, and click Launch. Windows will probably complain, but just close the warning box for now. Click OK.
Restart the computer.
Once it's running again, go to start->all programs->accessories->run
type the following:
regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\msstdfmt.dll
You should get a message informing you that the file has installed successfully. Close the box.
Kimera should now work.
IMPORTANT! If ANYONE else uses your computer, go back to msconfig.exe and enable UAC. CLick launch, then OK, then restart the computer. UAC is there to stop other people messing up the workings of your computer; it's not just an annoying notice.
