Internet Explorer Troubleshooting

The PROGRAM.EXE is linked to the missing export OLEAUT32.DLL: VarNot

Symptom:

When attempting to run a program (for the first time) a message box containing the following error is displayed:

The PROGRAM.EXE is linked to the missing export OLEAUT32.DLL: VarNot

Where 'PROGRAM.EXE' is either the name of the executable or the name of the program, either way it will vary from what is shown above.

What the error means:

The program that is being run requires a later version of OLE Automation (i.e. OLEAUT32.DLL).

Remedies:

• This error can be resolved by downloading the latest DCOM service pack from Microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com):

• At the last time of checking, for Windows 95 the latest version was "DCOM95 for Windows 95 version 1.3" (download from http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom95/dcom1_3.asp).
• At the last time of checking, for Windows 98 the latest version was "DCOM98 for Windows 98 version 1.3" (download from http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom98/dcom1_3.asp).

• Alternately download the latest version of Internet Explorer - this will update the DCOM components at the same time.
