PRB: LoadTypeLib Does Not Register Type Library

ID: Q131055

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.03
• Microsoft OLE libraries included with:

      - Microsoft Windows NT version 3.5
      - Microsoft Windows 95
  

SYMPTOMS

LoadTypeLib will not register the type library if the path of the type library is specified in the szFileName parameter. For backward compatibility, LoadTypeLib will register the type library if the path is not specified.

RESOLUTION

RegisterTypeLib should be used to register a type library.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
