RichEdit20 Not Registered on Fresh Windows Install
Posted by Anthony on May 5th, 2006


I have found that the RichEdit20 typelib is not registered on a fresh install
of windows. So my native app which requires that TypeLib to be available is
failing. RichEdit20 shipped with windows and I was wondering why it isn't
already registered.

Thanks for the helpAnthony

RichEdit20.dll does not ship with Windows XP. riched20.dll and riched32.dll
do.

My mistake, RichEd20.dll is the one I'm concerned with not being registered
when Windows is installed. Any information on why the RichEd20.dll typelib
is not registered on Windows install?

Thanks
Anthony

There is no fresh installation around, however, "Riched20.dll" is

I have no idea. Manually register it.

Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...

regsvr32 richedit20.dll

Hit your Enter key.

You should see a message telling if it registered or not.

Sometimes you have to unregister and then register a file. I don't know
why. If that's the case because of an error message...

Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...

regsvr32 /u richedit20.dll

Hit your Enter key.

Then paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...

regsvr32 richedit20.dll

Hit your Enter key.

I received error messages both registering and unregistering riched20.dll.

RegSvr32
---------------------------
C:\WINDOWS\System32\riched20.dll was loaded, but the DllUnregisterServer
entry point was not found.

This file can not be registered.

RegSvr32
---------------------------
C:\WINDOWS\System32\riched20.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry
point was not found.

This file can not be registered.

I also received those same errors using RegShell.exe.

[[This program allows to register/unregister DLLs using RegSvr32 tool which
is included with Windows. This program is very easy even for beginners.
Additionally, it shows a way to find windows\system directory location
properly. A handy utility that will help you avoid the inconvenience of
running regsvr32 from the start menu all the time. ]]

That explains the error messages.

That command will do absolutely nothing if Regtlib.exe does not exist. I.e.
if one does not have Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 or the other boatload of MS
stuff that I do not have installed.

Correct. Since "Regtlib.exe" is present on all of my systems, I was
positive that it was installed with WinXP. According to your link,
that file was installed with .NET Framework or MS Office most likely.

I do not have .NET Framework, but I do have MS Word 2002 and parts of Works
Suite 2004 installed. No Regtlib.exe though. I may have to hunt it down.
I have Works Suite 2006, Word 2003 and MS Office 2003 sitting on my desk
gathering dust. ;-)
