The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2, versions 1.0 and 1.1

Under OS/2, if MSHELP.DLL is not installed correctly or is not on the LIBPATH, an error such as the following may appear in a window when starting the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB):

                       Cannot Autoload Extension
                       e:\c600\binp\pwbhelp.pxt
   MSHELP:  SYS0002:  The system cannot find the file specified

                           < OK >   < Help >

Make sure that the latest version of MSHELP.DLL (the one that was included with the package in which you obtained PWB) is installed in a directory contained in your LIBPATH.

The default for OS/2 DLLs is the C:\OS2\DLL directory. If you choose to install the DLLs in some other directory, you must edit the LIBPATH in your CONFIG.SYS file and restart the system.
