Hello,

Try re-registering DTE.OLB by going to START, RUN and type "Regsvr32
<path>\DTE.OLB" (without the quotes)

I have the same problem.
I re-register both dte.olb and dte80.olb.
It doesn't help me. The path was
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv

I have the same problem, any advice would be greatly appreciated. After
downloading and installing Service Pack to for Windows the pc would not
start. Had to re-install Windows, after which I can't start Visual Studio due
to this DTE.olb error. Tried re-insalling VStudio and also registering
DTE.OLB, but neither worked. Thanks in advance for your help

"without the quotes" is misleading to novices like me. The <path> typically
includes things like Program Files and/or Common Files, which require quotes
of course.

Once I entered

regsvr32 "<path>\dte.olb"

and

regsvr32 "<path>\dte80a.olb"

VSBasic worked fine.


We need an Internet standard for displaying quoted strings. The only way I
have seen that seems to be reasonably clear is to _always_ put the entire
line with the string on a separate line, exactly as it is to be typed.

BTW, there appears to be a glitch in the VB .NET 2003 install. This was done
as a clean install on a Program Files folder with VB .NET 2003 uninstalled
and all subfolders deleted. I assume there is a Registry update problem.

Thanks for the info.
