The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.03
  • Microsoft Win32s version 1.20

SYMPTOMS

A 32-bit OLE Automation server that implements dual or vtable binding interfaces finds that loading the type library or a typeinfo from the type library fails under Win32s version 1.20 with this error: 

   TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY

CAUSE

A problem in OpenFile in Win32s version 1.20 causes the search for STDOLE32.TLB to be done incorrectly.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Win32s version 1.20. This bug was corrected in Win32s version 1.30c, which can be obtained from the Microsoft Software Library by searching for PW1118.EXE.
