SUMMARY
The OLECLI.DLL and OLESVR.DLL libraries support object linking and embedding (OLE) in an application. Although these two libraries are included in the Windows 3.1 distribution, an application can include these libraries to support OLE under Windows 3.0. If the application includes both libraries, ensure that the version numbers match.

When an application includes one or more Windows libraries, if the installation program detects an older version of a library, it will install the updated copy of the library. If the installation program updates one OLE library, it must also update the other to keep the version numbers identical. Therefore, an OLE client application must include and install OLESVR.DLL, even though the application uses only OLECLI.DLL. Similarly, an OLE server application must include and install OLECLI.DLL, even though the application uses only OLESVR.DLL.

For more information on determining the version number of an installed library, see the documentation for VER.DLL in the &quot;Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) Reference.&quot;
