PWB Generates SYS0002 If MSHELP.DLL Not Installed Properly (61955)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2 1.0
  • Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2 1.1
This article was previously published under Q61955
Under OS/2, if MSHELP.DLL is not installed correctly or is not on the LIBPATH, an error such as the following may appear in a window when starting the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB):
Cannot Autoload Extension
e:\c600\binp\pwbhelp.pxt

MSHELP: SYS0002: The system cannot find the file specified

< OK > < Help >
Make sure that the latest version of MSHELP.DLL (the one that was included with the package in which you obtained PWB) is installed in a directory contained in your LIBPATH.

The default for OS/2 DLLs is the C:\OS2\DLL directory. If you choose to install the DLLs in some other directory, you must edit the LIBPATH in your CONFIG.SYS file and restart the system.
