SYMPTOMS
========
After you apply Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2, you may receive one of the
following OLE error messages when running an application that makes a call to
create a form and alter the font attributes:
Run-time error '429': OLE Automation server can't create object
-or-
OLE error 31037 -- "Error Loading from File"
CAUSE
=====
This is caused by the changes to Olepro32.dll in Service Pack 2 where Olepro32
became a shell that now thunks any OLE call to other OLE executable files. Some
of the functions are not automatically being thunked over to the new executable
files.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around the above errors, run the following at a command prompt:
REGSVR32 OLEPRO32.DLL
REGSVR32 OLEAUT32.DLL
Regsvr32.exe is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.
After you run the above commands, you should be able to run your application
without experiencing the error messages.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
