The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000
This article was previously published under Q279544

SYMPTOMS

When you try to use the Document Tracking Activity user interface, you may receive the following error message:
Windows has detected that this computer does not have Office Web Components installed. These components must be installed prior to setup.

CAUSE

Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 Setup automatically installs Office Web Components so that you can use the Document Tracking Activity user interface without installing Office Web Components separately. In rare circumstances, the Office Web Components (OWC) may become unregistered. This can happen when you install and uninstall other Microsoft products that include Office Web Components.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  1. Search for the following dynamic-link library (DLL) files:

    Msowc.dll
    Msowcf.dll

  2. On the Start menu, click Run.
  3. At the command prompt, type the following command to manually register each DLL:

    regsvr32 filename.dll

    where filename.dll is the file name of the DLL.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000.
