Minecraft - Backup & Restore your saves

This is some software I wrote to use with Minecraft, at least with the Single Player Alpha version. It allows you to copy your save files from one place to another, for backup purposes or just moving your game from one computer to the next. And it is an easy way to restore you saved games on different computers.

Here is the link to download it:

Just save the file wherever you want and run it. No install required.

Tell me what you think and thumbs up :)

Update: if you get the error "MSCOMCTL.OCX is missing or invalid", follow these instructions to fix it:

It seems that the MSCOMCTL.OCX isn't correctly registered or that it isn't compatible with your Windows. Please open a Command Prompt and run as Administrator, then type the following command:
Regsvr32 MSCOMCTL.OCX

If you are using Window7 64bit, try typing:

Regsvr32 c:\windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX

If the issue still persists, let's download a new MSCOMCTL.OCX and register it again. You can download the MSCOMCTL.OCX from the following link:

@capp00 thats weird every windows computer should have this file by default

its what realy runs windows

[capp00]

@MrMinyNuke No, that's not correct. It's a VB Runtime file. Unless you manually install the VB runtime files, you will not have it. It's not a required file for Windows to operate. It stands for Microsoft Common Control. It's part of the VB programming language.

ok sothis does replace the default MSCOMCTL.OCX file?

@capp00

[capp00]

@MrMinyNuke If you already have the msconctl.ocx file, you don't need to download it. If not, then you will

@capp00 i missed a part of my message

i was wanting to delete it wen im done

[capp00]

@MrMinyNuke Oh, well you'll have to redownload it every time you want to use the program. No reason to delete it unless it makes your system unstable. Lots and lots of programs use the control.

When I tire to retore my world what do I restore it to on xp?

[MrTropaca]

Very nice , very simple thx =)

[capp00]

@MrMinyNuke No, it's not going to hurt your system. Don't download it unless you need it to run the program. It's just a control file, it's not going to hurt anything
