SYMPTOMS
When you install DCOM95 on a non-US version of Windows, a system message about a version mismatch in CompObj.dll might appear. This message appears when you restart the computer after completing the installation. After the you dismiss the message box, the system replaces the CompObj.dll installed by DCOM95 with the pre-existing CompObj.dll.



CAUSE
DCOM95 does not install a localized version of CompObj.dll. When you start Windows 95, it checks the file versions of a set of known DLLs. If Windows 95 finds a version mismatch or a language conflict, it restores the conflicting file with the original copy of the file.



RESOLUTION
The message box is benign, and you can safely ignore it. DCOM95's copy of CompObj.dll has the same functionality as the original CompObj.dll. Since DCOM95's version of CompObj.dll is not localized, there is a language conflict between DCOM95's version of the DLL (ENGLISH) and the international version. As a result, the system message appears.



STATUS
This problem was corrected in DCOM95 build 2420.
