Avast! 4 Windows 95 - MISSING EXPORT USER32.DLL

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I have been using AVAST32 successfully for the last year. Today, I was forced to get the new version AVAST4 because of that “Error message #1460, cannot start local engine”. That would be fine BUT AVAST4 gives me an error message:

“THE OLEACC.DLL FILE IS LINKED TO MISSING EXPORT USER32.DLL: GetWindowModuleFileNameA.”

“C:\PROGRAM FILES\ALWIL SOFTWARE\AVAST4\AshAvast.exe
A device attached to the system is not functioning.”

I am running Windows 95 (I apologize :-[). I looked in my USER32.DLL and I can’t seem to see the above reference. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Please try the following:

  1. uninstall avast!
  2. delete (or rename) the file OleAcc.dll in your system directory
  3. reinstall avast!

That could solve the problem. I don’t know who actually put this bogus oleacc.dll to your system directory, but that’s not so important…

As you’re using Win95, you may also need to have a look at http://www.avast.com/forum/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=112;start=0 .

Hope this helps,

Geez, you guys are good. Getting a “good” version of the OleAcc.dll seemed to do the trick.
Thanks for your lightning fast response.
