Missing Files
You downloaded a software and when you try to run it, you receive a "missing file" error like this...
http://images.webattack.com/waimages/missingfiles.gif
What's up with that ?
A particular file (e.g MFC42.DLL or COMDLG32.OCX or any other) is missing
http://www.google.com/search?q=MFC42.DLL
http://www.google.com/search?q=comdlg32.dll
Developers sometimes assume that most people have those files, however if you don't download very often and don't use a lot of software other than what came with your computer - you may need an additional support file here and there. Microsoft releases new "Run-time" files every now and then, they allow software developers to make use of the latest technology when creating new software. In order for YOU to use these programs, you need to update your Windows system with these files. Many software products requires the VB6 Runtimes or the earlier version, the VB5 Runtimes.
