PowerPoint 95 Viewer Doesn't Replace 16-Bit OLE Files (138643)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q138643 SYMPTOMS
In PowerPoint for Windows 95 or PowerPoint Viewer for Windows 95, you may
receive the following error messages:
Sorry, either the file name is too long or PowerPoint cannot find
or run the viewer, which it needs to save a PowerPoint 4.0 format.
If the file name is correct, you should run setup and reinstall to
get the viewer.
Sorry, PowerPoint cannot locate one of its components.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if any of the 16-bit OLE .dll files are missing or
corrupt. This problem may occur because the PowerPoint Viewer for Windows
95 Setup program does not install the 16-bit versions of the OLE .dll
files. You cannot use the Vsetup.exe program to correct problems in Windows
95 caused by missing or corrupt OLE files.
Note, however, that when you install this program in Windows 3.x, it does
install these .dlls.
WORKAROUND
There are copies of the 16-bit OLE .dll files in the following folder:
You can copy these files to the Windows\System folder.
MORE INFORMATION
In Windows 95, the 16-bit and 32-bit OLE files are installed to the
C:\Windows\System folder by default. The only file that Windows 95 Setup
does not install is the Ole2prox.dll file. Instead, Windows 95 replaces
this file with the 32-bit version.
You should only use the 16-bit OLE files that are shipped with Windows.
