RAD 7 - Merant Version Manager: SCC_E_INITIALIZEFAILED

I recently installed RAD7 on a freshly formatted machine. Merant Version Manager 8.0.2.3 was pre-installed on the machine (company image).

When I opened RAD I got some error dialogs.. When I tried to open Merant > Open from Merant Team Provider. I got them again:

Merant SCCJ dialog.
Incorrect SCC provider version installed.

Followed by SCCJ dialog.
Failed to load SCC provider.

Followed by Merant Team Interface dialog.
Failed to Initialize Merant Team Provider - Error Code:
SCC_E_INITIALIZEFAILED

In the workspace/.metadata/.log I find the following error.

!ENTRY com.merant.team.pvcs 4 4 2007-07-04 21:29:58.167

The fix was supplied by Rob Noah on the Serena Message Boards. The fix is to un-register and re-register some *.dll and *.exe files

Save the following to two batch files within the devint\bin directory, which for me is C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin.

Save this one as unReg_Devint.bat

REM save as unReg_Devint.bat
regsvr32 /u ActivityMonitor.dll
regsvr32 /u compcli.dll
regsvr32 /u COMSession.dll
regsvr32 /u DialogIntegration.dll
regsvr32 /u IFC_COM.dll
regsvr32 /u IFC_GUI.dll
regsvr32 /u IFC_SCC.dll
regsvr32 /u IFC_Services.dll
regsvr32 /u PvcsVmVCP.dll
regsvr32 /u SccSession.dll
pclioutproc.exe /unregserver
ActivityMonitorEXE.exe /unregister
pause;

Save this one as Reg_Devint.bat

REM save as Reg_Devint.bat
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\ActivityMonitor.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\compcli.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\COMSession.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\DialogIntegration.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\IFC_COM.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\IFC_GUI.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\IFC_SCC.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\IFC_Services.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\PvcsVmVCP.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\SccSession.dll"
"C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\pclioutproc.exe" /regserver
"C:\Program Files\Merant\vm\devint\bin\ActivityMonitorEXE.exe" /register
pause

Close all instances of RAD/Eclipse and Merant. Then run unReg_Devint.bat. Then Reg_Devint.bat. This fixed my problem.
