Unexpected Error when starting WinSpool 98 on Windows NT Terminal Server Trace Point 1000

From Support

If you have a question or seek clarification, please call Technical Support.

Problem:

I have loaded the WinSpool/400 95/98/NT software on a Terminal Server here at the office with SP4 loaded and ran into the same problem you were getting with the Sidebar Control at trace point 1000 in WinSpool 98.

The error occurs when we are loading the SBARVB.OCX control. It appears that one of the following DLL's on your system may be out of date:

MSVBVM50.DLL, OLE32.DLL, OLEAUT32.DLL

Solution:

Please check the version of each of these DLL's against the server where the software is working correctly.

In my case I resolved the problem by renaming the MSVBVM50.DLL (Dated: 7/19/97 Version: 5.0.4319) file that I found in the C:\WTSRV\SYSTEM32 directory and then I replaced it with the MSVBVM50.DLL (Dated: 3/30/99 Version: 5.02.8244) file that I found in the C:\WTSRV\SYSTEM32\VB5BACK directory.

You should also use REGSVR32.EXE to re-register the MSVBVM50.DLL after replacing it. The following DOS commands should accomplish this:

CD\WTSRV\SYSTEM32 REGSVR32.EXE MSVBVM50.DLL

You should probably also make sure there are no other versions of MSVBVM50.DLL on the system.
