The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition 4.2

- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition 4.2
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition 4.2b
This article was previously published under Q181486 SYMPTOMS
The Redistrb.wri file shipped on the Visual C++ 4.0/4.2 CD number 1 (in the
MSDev\Redist directory) implies that the Racmgr32.exe file can be run with
the following four files:
Autmgr32.exe
Autprx32.exe (misspelled in documentation, should be Autprx32.dll)
Racmgr32.exe
Racreg32.exe (misspelled in documentation, should be Racreg32.dll)
If Racmgr32.exe is run on a system where Visual Basic 4.0 or Visual C++
4.0/4.2 is not installed, the following error occurs:
A required .dll file VB40032.dll, was not found.
CAUSE
The Redistrb.wri document doesn't mention that the Visual Basic 4.0 run-
time dependency files are also needed. Racmgr32.exe is a Visual Basic 4.0
application, which needs the Visual Basic run-time dependency files.
Without these run-time files, an error will result.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem you need to distribute the following three sets of
files:
Core Files
Autmgr32.exe
Autprx32.dll
Racmgr32.exe
Racreg32.dll
Visual Basic 4.0 Run-Time Files
Vb40032.dll
Ven2232.olb
Olepro32.dll
Mscrt20.dll
Msvcrt40.dll
Ctl3d32.dll
Component Dependency Files
Gauge32.ocx
Tabctl32.ocx
Odkob32.dll
Mfc40.dll
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
Remote Connection Manager is a utility that allows a client application to
connect to a remote server. This utility is shipped with Visual C++ and is
installed by default when installing Visual C++. Machines with either
Visual C++ 4.0/4.2 or Visual Basic 4.0 installed will not experience this
problem.
