ieframe.dll\1 file not found error FIX!!!!!

[Charlie Stallings]

so when i installed the IE7 onto my machine i then tried to add the webbrowser control


only to find out that i get an error and the webbrowser control will not load into my projects anymore


i tried everything and really anything that people had told me to do


after getting so frustrated i gave up on the idea of ever using the webbrowser control in ANY projects ever again


today i was searching the web to try and find a fix for the error File not found IEFrame.dll\1 (knowing the \1 shouldnt be there)


i found out that IE7 & IE6 are different and use different refrences so heres the fix!!!!

to add the webbrowser control dont refrence the IEframe.dll instead use this it is in the same folder so just click browse then select shdocvw.dll


that will fix your problem my only thing is i have to do that EVERYTIME


how to i change the control from changing back to the IEframe.dll? and make it stick with shdocvw.dll

Advise your users to upgrade to IE8 - not only it is backward compatible it also offers better and safer browsing experience.

i tried using IE8 amd still got the same error i still have to change it from ieframe.dll to shdocvw.dll how do i keep it from changing back to ieframe.dll?

[RhinoBull]

Let me see if I even understand you:

- you are developing on the machine with IE8 (yes/no
- you added MS Internet Controls to your project (yes/no)
- does it work on your machine? (yes/no)

If you answered "yes" 3 times then how did you distribute your app?

i had ie8 and got the same error so i went back to ie7 when trying to add the ms internet control it gave me the error file not found ieframe.dll\1 so it wont even load the browser control into the project unless i change it from ieframe.dll to shdocvw.dll but if i open a new project and try to add the ms internet control it gives me the error again so then i have to change it from ieframe.dll to shdocvw.dll once again my qustion is how do i change it from going back to ieframe.dll after opening a new project

[Charlie Stallings]

in other words i need to change the location of the internet control from

c:\windows\system32\ieframe.dll
to
c:\windows\system32\shdocvw.dll

I have no idea if this relates at all to your problem but when I installed IE8, I had a problem every time I went to Amazon where I'd get a message about a "trusted site" and ieframe.dll that I had to respond to 2 or 3 times, every time. It turned out to be a internet security setting that needed to be changed. Here is the link that fixed it for me.

Sorry Charlie but I have no idea why you had to do that. I am obviously missing some point here.

oh its cool bro thanks for the help

You can also go to regedit and search for 'IEFrame.dll\1', once you have found it, edit the entry and remove the '\1'...

Works for me...

Only drawback is I have to do it again the next time I let windows run the update.

1. Get into run command
2. type regedit
3. find ieframe.dll\1
4. Alter value from ieframe.dll\1 to ieframe.dll

Now its ready for Microsoft internet controls ('ieframe.dll') component.
restart VB.

Thank you Senthi, for this fix. It worked. I was going crazy trying to figure this out on my own.
