Missing Files & Components

Missing Files

 

What's up with that ?

A particular file (e.g MFC42.DLL or COMDLG32.OCX or any other) is missing
 

Developers sometimes assume that most people have those files, however if you don't download very often and don't use a lot of software other than what came with your computer - you may need an additional support file here and there. Microsoft releases new "Run-time" files every now and then, they allow software developers to make use of the latest technology when creating new software. In order for YOU to use these programs, you need to update your Windows system with these files.
