Summary:
The OLECLI.DLL and OLESVR.DLL libraries support object linking and
embedding (OLE) in an application. Although these two libraries are
included in the Windows 3.1 distribution, an application can include
these libraries to support OLE under Windows 3.0. If the application
includes both libraries, ensure that the version numbers match.
When an application includes one or more Windows libraries, if the
installation program detects an older version of a library, it will
install the updated copy of the library. If the installation program
updates one OLE library, it must also update the other to keep the
version numbers identical. Therefore, an OLE client application must
include and install OLESVR.DLL, even though the application uses only
OLECLI.DLL. Similarly, an OLE server application must include and
install OLECLI.DLL, even though the application uses only OLESVR.DLL.
For more information on determining the version number of an installed
library, see the documentation for VER.DLL in the "Microsoft Windows
Software Development Kit (SDK) Reference."
