OSWAWI95 - WINDOWS APPLICATIONS FAILING WITH WINDOWS 95--ALL OS/2
RELEASES
04/18/96
=======================================================================
Windows Applications Failing with Windows 95--All OS/2 Releases
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
On OS/2 systems that have Windows 95 installed, some Windows
applications fail under WIN-OS/2, with the following error:
This application requires a newer version of WIN-OS/2.
RESOLUTION
In some cases, Windows 95 dynamic link library (DLL) files get copied
into the \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory. Most of these DLL files
have names that are different from their WIN-OS/2 counterparts;
however, the following have the same name in both versions, and are
the cause of the error message:
OLE2.DLL
OLE2CONV.DLL
OLE2DISP.DLL
OLE2NLS.DLL
OLE2PROX.DLL
OLECLI.DLL
OLESVR.DLL
COMPOBJ.DLL
STORAGE.DLL
TYPELIB.DLL
These DLLs need to be replaced by versions later than 7-11-95 (all
Win95 DLLs are dated 7-11-95). This can be done by copying them from
the \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory of another working system. If
another system with these files is not available, reinstall the failing
application under WIN-OS/2. But first, remove all the above listed
DLLs, because the application might not copy its OLE2 DLLs over the
newer ones.
