SYMPTOMS
Attempting to link an OLE Control project with Mapi32.lib results in the following warnings and errors:

warning LNK4022: cannot find unique match for symbol "DllCanUnloadNow"

warning LNK4002: _DllCanUnloadNow defined in C:\MSDEV\LIB\MAPI32.LIB

warning LNK4002: _DllCanUnloadNow@0 defined in C:\MSDEV\MFC\lib\mfcs40d.lib

warning LNK4002: _DllCanUnloadNow@0 defined in C:\MSDEV\LIB\oleaut32.lib

warning LNK4022: cannot find unique match for symbol "DllGetClassObject"

warning LNK4002: _DllGetClassObject defined in C:\MSDEV\LIB\MAPI32.LIB

warning LNK4002: _DllGetClassObject@12 defined in C:\MSDEV\MFC\lib\mfcs40d.lib

warning LNK4002: _DllGetClassObject@12 defined in C:\MSDEV\LIB\oleaut32.lib

fatal error LNK1152: cannot resolve one or more undecorated symbols

fatal error LNK1141: failure during build of exports file



CAUSE
The import library for the Mapi32.dll (Mapi32.lib) incorrectly exports the DllCanUnloadNow and DllGetClassObject functions. These functions should be exported privately and not included in the import library.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, build the Mapi32.lib import library from scratch by using the Lib.exe utility included with Visual C++ 4.0.

Copy the sample code listed below into a text file, and save it as Mapi32.def. From the command prompt, enter the following command line to execute the Lib.exe utility and build a new Mapi32.lib import library:

LIB /DEF:MAPI32.DEF

Replace the incorrect Mapi32.lib file located in the ~\Msdev\Lib directory with this newly created Mapi32.lib file, and rebuild the OLE Control project.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ 4.1.
