Active-X viewer - unicows.dll error

[HarryPotter1]

Hi,

I received instructions from the Crystal help support to use the regsvr32 command to register all dll's found in the ActiveXViewer cabinet file located on the server in the following folder:
Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\crystalreportviewers\ActiveXViewer

The unicows.dll gives and error message that says:
"...unicows.dll was loaded, but the the DLLregister Server entry point was not found. DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of unicows.dll may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it."

I saw that this dll support unicode. I don't believe we are using unicode or need to support it. Anybody else have to resolve this issue?

It's Ok, you can ignore that message - unicows.dll can't be (and doesn't need to be) registered with regsvr32. You may get that message for other DLLs in that folder but they can all be safely ignored - Crystal tech support probably just told you to register all of the DLLs because it was easier than giving you a list.

Does it need to be placed on the client when pushing the other dlls through SMS?

It should only be required on Win 95, 98 or ME
