A great hint. I already looked for such a tool but I never came across the right keywords for Google ;) I put the DependencyWalker image on my webspace: http://andreas.ahlenstorf.ch/PHP.dwi The error message from PHP/Windows: Missing Export-OLEAUT32.dll:157 For me it's a little bit weird that PHP uses the uleaut32.dll from the system directory instead the one I supplied in the root dir (D: \php5). Is there any chance to change the behaviour? Regards, A.

It sounds like your system is broken. You should never copy these low-level system DLLs between windows versions. My suggestion is to start with a fresh copy of win98 and install only MS updates to get the DLLs that you need. The missing import is fishy; I'd suggest downloading the DCOM update for Win98. --Wez.

I'll never try it again :)

Thanks for the hint. I'll try it tomorrow. Regards, A.

Just for information: It works now. I tried it with a fresh install of Windows 98, but there's still the problem with the missing export. After an install of Internet Explorer 5.5 everything works fine. A IE update may be a more end user friendly way than requiring a DCOM update, 'cos most people know IE, but almost nobody knows DCOM. Thanks for your help. A.
