PRB: How To Distribute the Remote Automation Connection Manager

• Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 4.2, 4.2b

SYMPTOMS

The Redistrb.wri file shipped on the Visual C++ 4.0/4.2 CD number 1 (in the MSDev\Redist directory) implies that the Racmgr32.exe file can be run with the following four files:

Autmgr32.exe
Autprx32.exe (misspelled in documentation, should be Autprx32.dll)
Racmgr32.exe
Racreg32.exe (misspelled in documentation, should be Racreg32.dll)

A required .dll file VB40032.dll, was not found.

CAUSE

The Redistrb.wri document doesn't mention that the Visual Basic 4.0 run- time dependency files are also needed. Racmgr32.exe is a Visual Basic 4.0 application, which needs the Visual Basic run-time dependency files. Without these run-time files, an error will result.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem you need to distribute the following three sets of files:

Core Files

Autmgr32.exe
Autprx32.dll
Racmgr32.exe
Racreg32.dll

Visual Basic 4.0 Run-Time Files

Vb40032.dll
Ven2232.olb
Olepro32.dll
Mscrt20.dll
Msvcrt40.dll
Ctl3d32.dll

Component Dependency Files

Gauge32.ocx
Tabctl32.ocx
Odkob32.dll
Mfc40.dll

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
