DAO350.dll not found - BUT IT'S THERE

[cyclegeek]

Visual Basic 6.0 fails on launch with an error "Can't find DAO350.DLL"

With a typical instal, this thing lives in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DA0

Now, the file truly exists. Just to make sure, I renamed the original, verified I had the same version on another machine, and copied the second one from the second machine to the first and into the original location. Same result.

Anyone have any ideas?

Also, I did throw a lot of .tmp files into the Recycle Bin but then restored all of them. I also just loaded StartCop, a startup manager that can limit what processes load on boot.

ALSO, twice reboot has failed for "Could not find NLDR". Hittin' the power switch fixes this one.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Have you registered this file on the client's machine? From the start menu, click Run, enter REGSVR32 in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DA0\DAO350.DLL"

Thanks for the tip, TrailerTrash, but is there a little more precise syntax to use? To be honest I've never registered a dll before.

It looks like the command should read:

regsvr32 /i: [optional cmdline] dll name

Yes? No?

TrailerTrash,

Never mind - I got it.

Thanks for putting me on the right track. It's good to learn something new.
