load & run error

[ningauble42]

I am getting this strange error. When I install and/or run the program I get this error where it can't find framedyn.dll file. However, the file does exist on my computer in two different places. One in \i386, the other in windows\systems32\wbem

Does this file need to be somewhere else? Even though I get this error, the program actually seems to be working.

The problem is usually caused by a bad path to the Framedyn.dll file rather than a missing Framedyn.dll file. Please read the following Microsoft Knowledge base article:

OK, I went through all the steps that were in previous links and none of them worked.

I then did a comparison between two different computers - one that worked and one that did not.

The difference was that on the non-functional one the registry Path was designated as a REG_SZ type, which I guess means a fixed length, where the working one was designated as a REG_EXPAND_SZ type which I guess means it is a variable length.

So I just deleted the existing one and created a new one with the REG_EXPAND_SZ type and the problem went away
