MSDN or TechNet Err Msg: Cannot Use MSDNCD.DLL Article ID: Q114033 Revision Date: 21-MAR-1995

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), DISK 6, DISK 8
 * Microsoft TechNet, April 1994

SYMPTOMS The following error message may occur when you run TechNet or MSDN:

Cannot use msdncd.DLL; it is an incorrect version or damaged

RESOLUTION

To correct the above error message:

  Make sure CTL3D.DLL and VER.DLL are not corrupt. MSDN and TechNet (April  should have the following file sizes:

CTL3D.DLL
20976

VER.DLL
9008   Verify that the most recent versions of CTL3D.DLL and VER.DLL are being used.

CTL3D.DLL
MSDN 9/15/93 TechNet (April 1994) 1/5/94

VER.DLL
MSDN 12/7/93 TechNet (April 1994) 3/4/92   Verify the location the MSDNCD.DLL line in the [Files] section of VIEWER.INI. For example, if you have MSDN and your VIEWER.INI path is MSDNCD.DLL=C:,Library missing. Rerun Microsoft Development Library Setup, then MSDNCD.DLL should exist only in the C:directory (unless TechNet is also installed; then it will be in that directory as well).   Check that MSDNCD.DLL exists only in the specified directory in step 3 (that is, it does not exist anywhere else in the path statement or in the Windows directory).
