Author filemgmt.dll missing error..."Please Help"

Hi Everybody:

I recently installed Visual Studio 6.0 with sp6 into Windows XP with sp2.
When I compiled a recent Visual Basic program a new error develops:
“MISSIING: FILEMGMT 1.0 Type Library. C:\WINNT\System32\filemgmt.dll”. I
used the browser to add the file and recompile the program but the same error
shows up again.

Can anyone help?
Thanks
KAB

Your choices are (not necessarily in order):
1) Manually register the component.
2) Reduce the number of startup components.
(Run spyware, virus-checker, registery utilities, etc - effectively make
sure you box is clean as possible and something else has sneaked in.)
2) Attempt to discover the version you have on your system and download a
replacement and manually register it. (Only occasionally works.)
3) Reinstall the operating system.

Oops.

Hi Ralph:
I've already done #2 and #3 several times with no effect. I don't know how
to register the .dll manually. If it's realitively simple to do, could you
tell me how?
Thanks

From a command line or the Start | Run box:

REGSVR32 C:\WINNT\System32\filemgmt.dll

Hi Jeff:

Thanks, I ran the command you sent me. My computer replied the registration
was successfull but when I recompiled and ran my program, the filemgmt.dll
was still listed as "MISSING" - no changes.

Thanks for the quick computer lesson.

Uncheck that item. Then use the Browse button and find your DLL.
