SYMPTOMS

Trying to run Visual Basic results in the following error message:

Unexpected Error; Quitting

This error occurs after the Visual Basic splash screen appears.

CAUSE

There are two known casues for this error:

  1. Visual Basic cannot find one of the following two files needed to run:

    MSO97RT.DLL
    MRT7ENU.DLL

  2. You are trying to run Visual Basic from a network "Administrator" setup.


RESOLUTION

For the first situation, the two files listed in the "Cause" section can be located on the Visual Basic installation CD in the \OS\System directory.

These two files need to be copied into one of the following directories in order to resolve the issue:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA

-or-

C:\Program Files\Common Files\MsApps\VBA


For the second situation, install Visual Basic locally. The Visual Basic product is not designed to run in a shared mode, so network Administrtator setups are unsupported. Please see the "References" section for more information.
