Thread: Typ viewer

@Roger

In my PC not present the URLMON.DLL,VB6FR.DLL and VBA6.DLL. I've MSVBVM60.DLL

Can you give me the version of the msvbvm60.dll file installed in your system? (in system32 folder, i presume...)

Do you have this problem, if you disable the "Automatically check for update at TYPViewer startup" through the menu File/Preferences?

In fact the program does not boot

Program doesn't launch? it crashes at start-up?
Is there an error message?
Have you an English version of Windows or not?
If you want, we can communicate by pm

I've W7 Home Edition 32bit Italian Language. With release of TypV 4.5.08 no-problem...only 2 latest release (4.5.7 and 4.5.20/21) I've this problem.
Now I removed the 4.5.21 ed re-installed 4.5.08 (that worked) and same error as 4.5.21.
The tool does not start but returns a pop-up:

better communicate topic, it could serve to others in the same situation

My dll is in C:\Autodesk\DWGTrueViewx86InstallImage\x86\dwgviewr\Windows\System32\Redist\MS\System
In your PM the DLL

The dll you sent me is very old but this is not , i think, the dll shared and used by the system.

Have search in the folder C:\Windows\System32 ?

(Maybe have you installed an app that have downgraded a shared dll (this could explain why, when you re-try 4.5.08 it doesn't work anymore.)

Sorry,sorry...my DLL in your PM (by C:\Windows\System32\...)

Changes in version 4.5.20 (06.07.2015) compared to the previous 4.5.7 ?

@ Roger
Thank you very much.
Your dlls is the most recent one, the problem is not there....

@kkitov
A lot of changes!

Thank you Roger for your test.

Now I think that all is clear, regarding this error.


This error appears when you have a localised version of VB other than french (or english of course) installed on your machine, for example if you have a non-english and non-french version of Visual Studio or VBA.

As far as I understand:

Spoiler:

when a VB app launches, it searches for msvbvm60.dll in the app directory. If it does not find this file there (most of time dll are not there) it searches this dll in the system repertory (generally C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 on 64 bits systems).Then msvbvm60.dll searches in the same directory for the language file (if it exists) vb6xx.dll.
If a localised version of VB is installed there is a vb6xx.dll file in the system repertory. If the version of VB is not french, this file is not vb6fr.dll and the app crashes because it has been written with vb6fr.dll.

If you put msvbvm60.dll and vb6fr.dll in the app directory: when the app launches, it searches for msvbvm60.dll in the app directory, it finds it then searches for a language file in the same directory and only finds vb6fr.dll: the app correctly launches

So, the solution is to copy those 2 files msvbvm60.dll and vb6fr.dll in the install directory.

Here is a new version of TYPViewer for testing:

Spoiler:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

changes :
- a new checkbox in the installer for copying msvbvm60.dll and vb6fr.dll in the install directory (uniquely if there is a localised version of VB, other than french (and english of course)
- drag&drop files on the GUI is enabled

I hope it works...

Last issue to fix : crash on W8.1 and W10
