PRB: Project Editor Gives "Invalid File Format" at Startup (115214)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Multimedia Viewer Publishing Toolkit 2.0
  • Microsoft Multimedia Viewer Publishing Toolkit 2.0a
This article was previously published under Q115214

SYMPTOMS

Upon starting the Viewer Project Editor, an "Invalid File Format" error is displayed.

CAUSE

Viewer located and attempted to use an older version of the CMDIALOG.VBX custom control.

RESOLUTION

Check the date and time of the CMDIALOG.VBX file located in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If the file is dated before 3/22/93, it will need to be replaced. This file can be found on the Viewer CD in the \SYSTEM directory.

If the CMDIALOG.VBX file located in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory has a date later than 3/22/93, check the directories specified in your MS-DOS path (especially those that precede the Windows directory) for the presence of a duplicate. If one is found, keep only the most recent copy and delete the others.
