Board index » Visual Studio » Update your OLE?

Visual Studio291
I am trying use mscorlib.dll from old VC6 MFC app that was ported to the VC7

compiler. The app works fine except when I enable /clr in the project

settings and run the app. The following error dialog appears then the app

exits:

"OLE initialization failed. Make sure that the OLE libraries are the

correct version."



So I looked up the error on MSDN and found the following

msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp

Error Message:

OLE initialization failed. Make sure that the OLE libraries are the correct

version.



Explanation:

When CLUSCFG was started, AfxOleInit failed. The most probable cause is that

the OLE DLLs are outdated.



User Action:

Update your OLE



This User Action doesn't help much. How does one "Update your OLE?", and to

what should it be updated. I am using Windows XP SP1 and Visual Studio.Net

2003.

Are you compiling and running it on the same machine? You can step

into AfxOleInit you know! It actually calls OleInitialize so look at

the full documentation for OleInitialize which contains the following

bullet point:



If OleInitialize returns OLE_E_WRONGCOMPOBJ, either COMPOBJ.DLL or

OLE2.DLL has been updated to a version that is incompatible with the

other file. To correct this problem, replace both of these files with

versions for your operating system from the same release of the

Platform SDK.
