interdev_programming thread: cannot load development environment dll


Message #1 by "Anthony Candaele" <Anthony.Candaele@r...> on Wed, 16 May 2001 21:26:09
Some serious installation blues,

Greatly fired up by the Wrox book 'Beginning Web Development with Visual 
Interdev 6' (A. Mumford) I started to install Visual Studio 6.0  
Enterprise Edition. The only bit of worry I got during the installation 
was the message stating that a file on my system was of in another 
language than the files being installed, and if it should be overwritten. 
I chose yes, and gave it a go. During the further installation, there were 
no problems.
Also when I activated Visal Interdev, everything seemed fine. But during 
the creation of web project, the program failed connecting to my local 
(pws) server. Later on in the book I read the program not being able to 
recognize the localhost name for the local server, is a common problem. A 
that time though, I thought is was due to the fact that my Office version 
was in another language (dutch) than the language of my VS 6.0 version. So 
I uninstalled everything including the windows nt 4.0 option pack, and 
reinstalled everything, this time with an english version of MS Office 
2000 (premium). But now things only got worse. When I tried to activate 
Visual Interdev, I got the message: "cannot load development environment 
dll". After that, I got the Visual Interdev interface for a fraction of a 
second, and then it disappeared.
After searching in the knowledge base of Microsoft, I found this error 
message. Their remedy is to reinstall the msenv.dll. So I did this using 
the regsvr32 keyword, and I got the message that the dll was installed 
succesfully.
But still Visual Interdev doesn't start up, while other development 
environments like Visual Foxpro, or Visual C++ do start up without a 
problem.

Does anyone has a clue what's going on.

Much thanks in advance,

Anthony Candaele
