SYMPTOMS
When you install Visual C++ 4.x after uninstalling Fortran Power Station by using "del *.*" command, the following error message appears when you start Developer Studio:

EEN0SWT.DLL This required file cannot be loaded. Please re-install Microsoft Developer Studio -- OK



RESOLUTION
The proper procedure of uninstalling Fortran Power Station(FPS) is to proceed from the "Microsoft Fortran Power Station Setup" icon in the program group and click Remove all. This way the necessary files and the proper registry keys are removed.

Or, if the "del *.*" command is used on the FPS installation directory, the registry keys are not deleted. Under this circumstance, the error message appears when you install Visual C++ 4.x and start Developer Studio. Click OK to start Developer Studio.

To prevent this error message, close Developer Studio and open the Registry editor. Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft, delete the Developer key. Restart Developer Studio. The error message does not appear and the Developer Registry key is properly restored.
