SYMPTOMS

When you try to install Money, you receive an error message similar to the following

Error 1911 - Could not register type library for file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Investor\filename

where filename is the name of the .ocx file (for example, Inv8.ocx, Inv9.ocx, Inv10.ocx, Inv12.ocx, or Inv13.ocx).

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if an .ocx file is corrupted or not installed.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use method 1 first, and if that doesn't resolve the issue, use method 2. If method 2 doesn't resolve the issue, use method 3.

Method 1: Rename the Corrupted Files and Reinstall Money

In the All or part of the file name box, type inv*.ocx.
In the Look in list, click Local Hard Drives (C:) under My Computer, and then click Search. Under More Advanced Options, make sure to select search hidden files or folders.

NOTE: If you installed Money to a different drive, click the appropriate location.
When the search process is complete, right-click any file that is found, and then click Rename.
Rename the file and give it the extension ".old."
If you are prompted to confirm, click Yes.
If the search finds more than one file, repeat steps 5 through 7 to rename each file that appears.
Insert the Money CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive.
If the Money installation program starts automatically, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
