Err Msg: Cannot Convert File. Cannot Locate Microsoft...

ID: Q163092

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to copy or move a Microsoft Word document from your desktop computer to your Handheld PC (H/PC), you may receive the following error message:

   Cannot convert file. Cannot locate Microsoft Conversion Library
   (msconv32.dll).

CAUSE

The Mswrd632.cnv file is installed when you install Microsoft Word version 7.0 for Windows and is required to convert Microsoft Word documents (.doc files) to Pocket Word documents (.pwd files.) Some programs may install a different version of the Mswrd632.cnv file that requires the Msconv32.dll file. If the Msconv32.dll file is missing, you may receive this error message.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:

Restore the missing Msconv32.dll file. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Reinstall the program that installed the version of the Mswrd632.cnv
```
      file that requires the Msconv32.dll file.
```
2. Reinstall H/PC Explorer over the existing installation.
NOTE: Some programs may install a file named Msconv97.dll. In this case, substitute "Msconv97.dll" in place of "Msconv32.dll" in the above steps.

1. Click the Start button, point to Find, and then click Files Or

```
      file, click Rename on the menu that appears, and then rename the
      file to Mswrd632.new.
