BUG: Visual InterDev DTCs Stop Working When You Uninstall Office XP
This article was previously published under Q293840
If you upgrade to Microsoft Office XP from Microsoft Office 2000, or if you uninstall Office XP from a computer that uses the Visual InterDev Design-Time Controls (DTCs), the DTCs may stop working. When you try to add a DTC to a page or open a page that previously contained working DTCs, you may receive the following Microsoft Development Environment error message in Visual InterDev:
An object has failed to load. The object will be displayed as text.
When you install Office XP, a copy of the Dtcrt.dll file is added to the following folder:
Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Triedit\
When you uninstall Office XP, this copy of the file is removed. When this file is installed with Visual InterDev, it normally installs to the following folder:
Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VInterDev98\Bin
However, if no copy of the file exists at either location, no copies of Dtcrt.dll exist on the computer, which breaks DTC functionality.
To work around this problem, download the latest service pack for Microsoft Visual Studio to reinstall Dtcrt.dll. Note that if you uninstall Office XP again, you must re-apply the service pack.
