Failed to load commondialog....

[Confucius]

Hi,

I have a user that has converted from WINNT to WINDOWS XP and they are getting the following error:

Run-Time error 372:

Failed to load control CommonDialog from 'comdlg32.ocx'. Version may be out of date, blah, blah, blah.....

Both versions of the OCX match. Could this possibly have something to do with write access given to the individual user?

My DLL is version 5.something and theirs is 6.something, but both versions of the OCX are the same. Should this matter since the DLL is supposed to be backwards compatible?

TIA for any help.

it isnt exactly a dll..
ocx are registered in teh registry; bundling an ocx with your app may not be enough

how can the versions be the same when you say you have v5 and they have v6?

The problem seems to be with user being logged on as Limited/Restricted user.

When the app is installed with admin rights, the app registers and runs correctly.

When the user switches to Limited/Restricted user, it gives the failed to load error.

When the app is installed as Limited/Restricted user, it will fail to self-register certain DLLs including commoncontrol and commondialog.
