Object library not registerd

H

Howard Kaikow

Recently, I had a hard drive disaster. I thought that all files had been
restored, I guess not.

The system is multiboot, with Win 2000 on the C drive and Office 97
installed under that OS.

Today I tried looking at Tools | References in the Word VBIDE.
I was not given the list of references, instead I got a message box stating
"Object library not registered".

Note that macros seem to run, I just cannot use Tools | References.

This problem does not occur in either Excel or Powerpoint.

The help for the message is something like that below the dashed line below

What's the fix?
How do I reregister VBA for Word?
A similar problem seems to be addressed in KB article 315576.

I tried uninstalling, the re-installing Office 97, but that did not really
work.
Indeed, I had Office 97 SR-2 installed, so when I uninstalled Office 97,
then used an Office 97 SR1 to re-install, I was surprised to find that the
Help still said SR2.:

Is there a fix?

Or will I have to use eraser97 to wipe out Office 97, then re-install?

Object library not registered


The Visual Basic for Applications object library is no longer a standalone
file; it is integrated into the dynamic-link library (DLL).

In earlier versions, when you started an application that uses Visual Basic
for Applications, certain object libraries were loaded. This error has the
following cause and solution:

a.. An attempt was made to load a previous version of the Visual Basic for
Applications object library (vaxxx.olb) or host-application object
libraries. However, the correct language version of these object libraries
could not be found in the system registry.
Reregister your application. On the Macintosh, delete the vba.ini file
from the Macintosh Preferences folder, and restart your application.

For additional information, select the item in question and press F1 (in
Windows) or HELP (on the Macintosh).

Hi Howard,

I suspect the simplest and surest approach is to uninstall Word (or the
whole of Office if you installed as part of Office), use Eraser97 to get rid
of any remaining bits, then do a full install from the CD immediately
followed by an installation of the service packs.

The task is complicated because I also have Expedia 98, Outlook 98 and
Publisher 98 installed.
I guess that I need to uninstall those before using eraser97.

Then re-install Outlook 98 and Publisher 98.
Then Office 97 SR1, then SR2.
