I have a 10.1 installation including a (test) 64-bit Rumba Addon.  There were some issues with this when testing.  Now I saw that even using previous version of our software code (which when built with 9.5.1 libraries *does* work properly on servers that have 10.1 installed), when debugging I am unable to connect to the Mainframe (TN3270).

So, I uninstalled 10.1 (this was in 2 steps - the Add-On and the main product; during the Add-On uninstall I *did* see an error, which I unfortunately didn't do a screen-save of :-( ).

I then freshly installed 9.5.1 along with SP1.  I still crash, in what appears to be the first (attempted) usage of the Rumba add-in.  In particular in debugger I cannot get past the following line:

With frmHostInterface.HostDisplay.HostInterface
 .Name = "WallData.TN3270Link"
 .Interface.InsertName(Name:=mvarIPAddress, RetCode:=returnVal)
 If mvarPort <> 23 Then
 .Interface.TelnetPort = mvarPort
 End If
 If mvarLUName <> "" Then .Interface.DeviceName = mvarLUName
 .Interface.Response = True
 .AutoConnect = "1"
 End With

I suspect that there is something left over (file, or more likely registry entry/old or 10.1 OCX registration?) that never got totally cleaned when I uninstalled 10.1.

Any advice (other than format C: ;-) ) on how to totally clean 10.1 installed (and maybe also 9.5.1 install - I am will to -reinstall 9.5.1 from scratch) - would be most appreciated.  I did do reboots in between in-installs and installs...

#Rumba

Please try to run C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\RUMBA\\Setup\\UpdRgfs.EXE as Administrator

This will re-register all the OCX entries in the Windows Registry

Thanks AdiA for the help...as you suggested offline, the following seems to have resolved the issue (apparently some file generated by my app, maybe while using 10.1, was unreadable by 9.5.1):

Clean up your entire %appdata%\\micro focus\\rumba as well as the same for %localappdata%
