MSVBVM50.DLL not found (Vista)

zridling · Post by **zridling** » 10 Feb 2007 06:17

So I loaded Vista today (god, I hate it), and after installing XYplorer, I received an error dialog indicating that it could not locate the following component:

MSVBVM50.DLL

I reinstalled as "vista" suggested but no XYplorer. I don't expect it to run in Vista yet since it's only been released for a week. But Vista Explorer is the worst god-awful crap I've ever suffered. (Okay, well, WinFax was pretty bad.)

I'm a tiny bit surprised to read this posting from you, as XY has been running almost perfect (except for a small context menu issue) on Vista from what I read in posts by others here...but you've run into probably THE most common issue with XY (and some other similar app's)...see another posting (with solution) about this same thing here:

BTW, from the counts shown, it appears this is my 1000th posting here!

Yikes! I guess I need to get out of the house more often!

So they don't ship it anymore, tz tz tz... Well, this is the official (doesn't it look very official?) download URL for it:

Some blood brothers here in the forum are using XY on Vista already. So you all had to go and get msvbvm50.dll manually???

Yep, I'd suggest a little fresh air break at 1 KP (1 kiloposting = 1024 postings).

You definitely earned a time out (it will probably even boost your creativity). Not only for your non-stop stream of valuable and elaborate postings, but also for your additions and typo hunting in the wiki: Thanks, man!!!

Hi Don;

No I just continued using the same install folder from Win2K. I also copied the dll file into the XY folder.

Thanks for the link. I've seen it here, but had forgot about it, I'm sorry. A 2-second search would have prevented it.

All I can say is that Vista's 'Explorer' is the most inefficient/godawful monster I've come across. Microsoft should just give Don a few €billion for a license to use XYplorer. Just don't sell out. (But if they did that, who design their ugly software!)

Yep. No biggie, though.

Ok, thanks. I added the info to the ReadmeXY.txt and to support.htm.
