FIX: CTL3D32.DLL Errors with Windows 95

ID: Q142082

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

After installing Visual FoxPro 3.0 under Windows 95, the following error may occur:

This application uses CTL3D32.DLL, which is not the correct version. This version of CTL3D32.DLL is designated only for Windows NT systems.

CAUSE

This does not occur with all Windows 95 installations. At this time, Microsoft has not isolated a cause for this problem, but it is suspected that certain system configurations, combined with Visual FoxPro, cause confusion.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been corrected in version 3.0b. The easiest workaround is to expand the file in question from the cab file on the disk. For example, if the Visual FoxPro CD is in drive D, the command would be:


   EXTRACT D:\VFP9.CAB /L C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CTL3D32.DLL

Additional query words: CTL3D32 DLL
