RPC Stub Error: Incompatible version of the RPC stub - "Unhandled Exception. Error
number: 0x80070725" This is due to MS Office component either installed or omitted
from installation.
Windows 98 or 95
On Windows 98 and 95, this error may be caused by a bad version of the oleaut32.dll
file. To correct this problem, follow these instructions to remove the bad file and
install a new version.
Warning: This resolution requires you to modify your System folder. Modifications
to the Windows system, if not done correctly, can create serious problems for your
computer.
Download to your Desktop, but do not run, the Distributed Component Object Model
(DCOM) file appropriate for your system. These files can be downloaded from the InstallShield
support page, by clicking the links provided below.
www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?oleaut32
Windows 98: Windows
98 DCOM file
Windows 95: Windows 95 DCOM file
Select Start > Shutdown.
Select Restart in MS-DOS mode.
At the command prompt c:\WINDOWS, enter the following commands on separate lines
as shown.
cd c:\windows\system
rename oleaut32.dll oleaut32.old
exit
Ignore the error message:
A required .DLL file, C:\windows\system\oleaut32.dll, was not found.
This error message appears because the file was renamed in step 4
Now log in to your computer as you normally would.
Double-click the file you downloaded to your Desktop in step 1.
Click Yes to the dialog box that opens. The dcom.exe file installs a new oleaut32.dll
file.
After DCOM has been installed, select Start > Restart.
If your computer fails to function properly after following the above instructions,
you can restore your original oleaut32.dll file by doing the following:
Select Start > Shutdown.
Select Restart in MS-DOS mode.
At the command prompt c:\WINDOWS, enter the following commands on separate lines
as shown. This restores the old oleaut32.dll file.
cd c:\windows\system
rename oleaut32.old oleaut32.dll
exit
Windows automatically restarts. If it does not, select Start > Restart.
