PRB: " Class Not Registered " Error on ImgEdit Property Page Show

• Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 5.0
  on the following platforms: Win98

SYMPTOMS

Using Windows 98 and Visual Basic 5.0 SP3, attempting to bring up the custom property page for the Kodak Imaging Controls results in the following error:

"Class not registered: Looking for object with CLSID
0BE35201-8F91-11CE-9DE3-00AA004BB851".

CAUSE

This CLSID corresponds to the stock "Color Property Page" found in MFC42.DLL. The DLL that contains this property page has not been registered correctly.

RESOLUTION

Using REGSVR32.EXE as follows to unregister and then re-register MFC42.DLL will place the correct entries into the system registry and allow the property page for ImgEdit, which makes use of the stock Color Property Page, to be displayed:

Unregister MFC42.DLL as follows:

   regsvr32.exe -u MFC42.DLL 

   regsvr32.exe MFC42.DLL 

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
