Error running Site Configuration Utility. Cannot load "comdlg32.ocx".

Date: May 30, 2003

Version affected: v1.70. Does not affect copies downloaded after May 30, 2003

Symptoms:
When an attempt is made to launch the Site Configuration Utility (utilities\site_configuration\wbtmconfig.exe) an error occurs indicating that the operating system is unable to load "comdlg32.ocx".

Cause:
Some systems may not have the ActiveX component comdlg32.ocx already installed. This component is used by the utility to display tabbed dialogs. In prior versions of WBT Manager an installation set was provided to install this component if necessary. The installation set for comdlg32.ocx was inadvertantly left out of the WBT Manager installation set for version 1.70.

Correction:
The missing files have been added to the WBT Manager version 1.70 installation set. If you downloaded your copy of WBT Manager 1.70 prior to May 30, 2003 you will need to get the missing files from this patch.

Installing the patch files

  1. Unzip the patch file to a temporary directory (if you have the WBT Manager installation set on a writeable disk put the contents of the patch in utilities\site_configuration).
  2. Run setup.exe to install comdlg32.ocx on your system
  3. You should be able to run the Site Configuration Utility now.
