File not found: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieframe.dll\1'

[PeterD]

I have someone who is building a project of mine. He's been doing this
for some time (on the same computer) and today he's started getting
the message:

File not found: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieframe.dll\1'

on one project.

Has anyone else seen this in the last day or so?

Hi Peter,

I saw something similar ...
I installed a security app called AntiHook 3.0 yesterday
Every time I used a menu in Internet Explorer, it warned
that a global hook was being set using ieframe.dll.

Not personally, but there are lots of hits about it if you search Google Groups.
Apparently they have separated the library and code for the browser out of
ieframe.dll in IE7 so I reckon he has IE7 installed and you are still on IE6.
One suggestion is to changed the reference for "Microsoft Internet Controls" from
the ieframe.dll to shdocvw.dll in the project references (browse for it in the same
folder), saved the project, reopen it, and you no longer receive the errors.
I've not tried this myself because I don't have any code that uses the internet
controls and I'm still on IE6 anyway, so I'd have a trawl of the Google results to
see if there are any 'gotchas' with that idea.

Resolution:


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\0\win32

Value should be = C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieframe.dll

The value appears to have been changed to
'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ieframe.dll\1' which is wrong. My user had to
change it two times for some reason, the first time it changed back
(he may have made an error changing it...)

I think (big think) that he may have installed an update to IE7 that
did it, thought the system worked OK on Saturday, then on Monday it
failed--odd because failures usually happen on Wednesday following
death Tuesdays. <bg>

Anyway it is on the record here for the next poor guy who gets the
error.
