[ALLY] HELP! Error loading View
[1/2] from: russ:portone at: 29-Oct-2000 16:55
I have installed Rebol/View (many times) on various systems just fine...
but recently tried to install it on an old Win95 system of mine and get the
following error:
The REBOL.EXE file is linked to missing export COMCTL32.DLL:_TrackMouseEvent.
I checked and COMCTL32.DLL exists both in /Windows/System directory and the
registry.
Any suggestions what's wrong on this sytem and how I can get REBOL/View
installed there??

You may have an old version of COMCTL32.DLL
Go into your /Windows/System folder and right-click on COMCTL32.DLL , click
on Properties, and click the Version tab.
Find out what version you have, then figure out where you can get a
application that can give you a later version.
A good place to start would be
http://support.microsoft.com/servicedesks/fileversion/dllinfo.asp
Search by File Only, and type in COMCTL32.DLL
You might decide to obtain the file by downloading a version of Internet
Explorer.
You could then either install IE or just extract the DLL from the cabinet
file.
EXTRACT /Y /L c:\Windows\System c:\Path_to_Cabfile\setupw95.cab COMCTL32.DLL
cabinet - Cabinet file (contains two or more files).
filename - Name of the file to extract from the cabinet.
Wild cards and multiple filenames (separated by
blanks) may be used.
/L dir Location to place extracted files (default is current directory).
/Y Do not prompt before overwriting an existing file.
