Vislib.dll is missing?? cannot open visio.exe?

[tekquest]

Hi guys,

I have recently installed visio onto my computer (i have admin rights) and all seemed to go fine, i run the application up for the first time and visio builds its directory cache.

I close visio, then open it again and it comes up with the error message:

"visio.exe - unable to locate dll -

the dynamic link library vislib.dll could not be found in the specified path

C:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop;,
C:\winnt\system32;,C:\winnt\system32;,c:\winnt;,c:\winnt\system32\wbem

It's a windows 2000 professional machine, I can find the vislib.dll in C:\winnt\system32, but when i copy it do the specifed locations it doesn't help at all.

Has anyone seen this problem before? Microsoft doesn't seem to appear to know anyrthing about it, nor do any search engines that I have been looking through.

Thanks for reading,

You could try manually registering the dll. From the command line:

regsvr32 C:\winnt\system32\vislib.dll

Then restart the machine and try again

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated!

I have tried to use the regsvr32 C:\winnt\system32\vislib.dll

but it errors with: regsvr32 load library ("c:\winnt\system32\vislib.dll&quot failed - the specifed module could not be found.

Any more ideas???
