PRB: Cannot Load MFCCLSWZ.DLL with ODBC SDK Version 2.1

 Last reviewed: September 9, 1996
Article ID: Q126607
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 2.10

SYMPTOMS

If the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) version 2.1 Software Development Kit (SDK) from the January Microsoft Developer's Network (MSDN) Level 2 CD is installed on a system that already has Microsoft Visual C++ version 2.1 installed and you attempt to run Visual C++ components, it fails with the following message: 

   MFCCLSWZ.DLL This required file cannot be loaded. Please reinstall
   the Microsoft Visual C++ development environment.

CAUSE

The ODBC 2.1 SDK Setup from the January MSDN Level 2 CD replaces the Visual C++ version of the files MSVCRT20.DLL and CTL3D32.DLL with older versions. The problem does not occur with any other versions of the ODBC 2.1 SDK.

RESOLUTION

Either reinstall Visual C++ 2.1, or copy the files MSVCRT20.DLL and CTL3D32.DLLl from the Visual C++ CD to the ODBCSDK\REDIST32 and WINNT\SYSTEM32 directories.
