Wanted to create a game without sol and some custom races - but when I do the steps of the Wiki (create the spacemaster empire, selcect it as default race, enable SM Mode, and then go to the System Information screen (F9); when entering that screen, I get this error message:

Error 713 - Class not registered. Need to install MSSTDFMT.DLL.

I am using the Wrapper-Installer and it includes such a dll. I also tried it with downloading that dll from the web; but neither do work. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

You need to put that dll in c:\windows\system32 and if you have a 64bit system also in c:\windows\syswow64.
Just copy it from the aurora folder.

Try this.

In the Windows 10 search bar at bottom left, type "cmd" and choose Command Prompt.  Navigate to where the DLL is and type "regsvr32 msstdfmt.dll".

Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Admin first :)
