"COMDLG32.DLL is linked to missing export SHELL32.DLL"
I get the above error message during a program installation.
Running Win98.
Found two copies of COMDLG32 in the
WINDOWS\SYSTEM and WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
folders.
Tried removing one then the other,
swapping them around, checking that no background applications are active.
Anybody seen anything similar with a solution other than a re-installation of the OS?

Reply:

it is caused because your scanner software installed an old version of SHLWAPI.dll in it's program directory.

Do Find > Files > SHLWAPI.DLL

You should find 2. Rename the one in the scanner program directory to SHLWAPI old.dll (for example), reboot and try the software again.
If there is still a failure, copy the SHLWAPI.DLL file from \Windows\System into the directory where the 'old' version is.
