SYMPTOMS
Under certain conditions, running the Professional Edition of Visual
Basic version 2.0 or 3.0 can give the following sequence of two error
messages:
- License file for custom control not found. You do not have an
appropriate license to use this custom control in the design
environment.
- Can't load Custom Control DLL: 'D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSOUTLIN.VBX'
CAUSE
This can be caused by an old VB.LIC file. This is commonly caused by
installing the Visual Control Pack after installing Visual Basic for
Windows.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, decompress the VB.LIC file from your master
diskettes for Visual Basic version 3.0.
The PACKING.LST file on master disk number 1 describes on which disk to
obtain VB.LIC. PACKING.LST describes how to decompress VB.LIC. Replace
your current VB.LIC file with the decompressed VB.LIC from the master
disk.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
