SYMPTOMS
If Windows NT is installed in the same directory as Win32s,
you may experience the following problems with the Winhelp version 4.0 program
that is included with Win32s versions 1.30 and 1.30a :
- Calls to WinHelp() from within a 32-bit application fail.
- You may receive one of the following error messages:
An error exists in your Help file. Contact your
application vendor for an updated Help file (1053)
-or-
Error: This app uses CTL3D32.dll which is not the
correct version. This version is for Windows NT Systems only.
CAUSE
These problems are caused by the way that Win32s 1.30 and
1.30a searches the path for DLL files, specifically, the SYSTEM32 directory is
searched before SYSTEM. Because of this, Winhelp finds component files that are
designed for Windows NT and will not run under Win32s.
RESOLUTION
This problem has been corrected in Win32s version 1.30c.
STATUS
Microsoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
at the beginning of this article.
