I tried with VB 6 and it still happened... i can't install or uninstall programs now... help!!!

I have fixed my problem with it!!!! If you need ANY help I wil gladly send you hte right DLL file and instructions!!

Matt :o)

I've got a very similar problem on a Win XP system. When installing InterVideo's WinDVD and WinDVR, I get the message "Setup failed to run installation: The remote procedure call failed."

Any chance this could be solved the same way?

I have the same RPC stub problem when i try to install Ghost Recon to my computer and im running a Windows ME OS

Matts Fix worked for me. (Incompatible Version of the RPC Stub) If you need the fix you can send an email to me as well, put
RPC in the subject line and you should recieve the fix within an hour or so complete with directions.

yeah i cant seem to download ghost recon demo and a lot of other things. guess ill email matt the savior

Hey there, Im Matt I prevously wrote a responce, for people to email for the fix, I created a website with instructions and a link for the file download..

I've got similiar problems actualy the same :)

the page you posted doesn't work

i'll send you a mail thx

I installed vbruntime6 and now i'm getting even more errors. Send the dll to me for the rpc stub error please.

By replacing my oleaut32.dll with an older version I was able to fix the "Incompatible version of the rpc stub" problem and many other problems. My Norton Antivirus live update used to give an error message saying "No product found on this machine to update" and my IE had trouble opening new browser windows. I found an older version of oleaut32.dll in the MDAC_IE5.CAB file in my Windows Updates directory. If you start yr PC in MS Dos mode and replace yr dll file with this older version dated 03/08/1999 then that would fix all problem. Make sure you first make a backup of yr existing file before replacing it.

well...
i read al the MSG's here and i still did'nt understand what is the right way to fix the problem...
anyway i never saw this error msg before i tried to install Serious Sam: The Second Encounter Demo and its the first and the only time i see this Error Msg.
So plese post one long msg here that can realy help me.

help i have this too i think it must be a commy plot or virus can anybody help??????

Can I have this too, I need help

Just wanted to let everyone know that HB, response 15, has the solution. I had the same exact problem as he and his advice is right on the money!!!!

Just wanted to thank him, THANKS HB

Response 15--I found the file but how do you copy and or install the thing? Winzip opend the cab and the file is there but I couldn't use copy/paste. I tried install but that brought up an install window I was infamiliar with so I exited.
Can anyone tell me exactly how to extract it so I can put it into DOS?
thanks

I was having the same problem with installing my Logitech Trackman and Matrox G450 Video card. the Solution in msg 3 worked for me. I found a copy of vb6 runtime, extracted the oleaut32.dll and copied it to the windows/system directory (after backing up the prior copy). Restarted and it worked like a charm.

Thank you HB and Matt. Matt sent me the file and instr. in an .exe file to my email which I managed to complete. After the fix, Hallmark card studio uninstalled ok. Now, I'll try installing a newer version of Hallmark and see how it goes.

i didn't know people had the same error, i thought it would be a virus but it actually isn't! Here's a reputable way of solving the problem (I used it to fix mine):

1) download vb6 runtime files in zip format at 'href="http://www.rainfall.com/coding/kja_vb6run.zip'

2) extract the Oleaut.dll file from the zip file into a temp directory

3) copy your old Oleaut.dll file (as a backup) from c:\windows\system to another directory

4) exit to DOS and copy the file from the temp directory into c:\windows\system directory to replace the old one.

-That did it for me .. now I can actually use the 'find' function in IE! woohoo

Hey friends, thank you very much!
I had the same problem, but you could help me...but do you know why this problem appears?

How do you copy the file in dos? what command do you use?

to copy the file in dos you do the following:
(assuming that you put the new version of Oleaut32.dll in 'd:\temp')

when you are in dos prompt, you type the following to overwrite the Oleaut.dll in windows\system dir with the one in the d:\temp dir:(without the ')

'copy d:\temp\Oleaut32.dll c:\windows\system'
then say YES when it asks to overwrite

(i hope that brings you success!)

THANK YOU ALL!!!

Hi all

I'm having a great headache over this error message could someone please help me out.
I've got a few progams that won't install

Please help!

Thank you Matt HB Tim got the intel movie creator software and video camera to work thax everybody happy holidays

THANK YOU HB!!!!!!!!!! :-)
I had been frustrated for two weeks trying to open windows in IE (all versions above 5) and battling invalid page faults and RPC stub problems. Your solution fixed every problem. Thanks again.

I would like to thank you Tim for your helped about the ERROR of RPC ... now my system got fixed ..... !!!!!!!

I have 2 partitions on my computer. the first one accepts downloads fine but the second one does not. Any thoughts on finding and coping the oleaut.dll from my first partiton to the flawed one???

Thanks

Maybe someone can explain this to me in layman's terms because I am having trouble with this RPC incompatibility thing and I tried 3 different times to download VB6 to get this file (OLEAUT32.DLL) and I do not understand what to do--SESAME STREET ME please! Instruct me like I am a novice because I am and I have no clue about how to do this stuff you are all talking about. I can not install my intel easy cam (yeah right its easy) because of an incom,patible RPC stub. I am running WIN ME--a program that should NOT have this problem but seems to have this problem. ANY help and response would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

The Problem appeared because of online Windows updates from Microsoft. As "HB" responded #15, here is another way that works to fix the problem. Thanks HB!
(1) Start System File Checker by clicking "Start", "Programs", "Accessories", "System Tools", "System Information".
(2) In System Information click "Tools", "System File Checker", "Extract one file from installation disk". Enter "oleaut32.dll" as filename and click Start.
If your Windows 98 CD is in drive d:, Enter "d:\win98". (or locate win98 on your harddrive - if copied previously).
Save file in: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
When it asks for Backup Folder enter C:\WINDOWS\Helpdesk\SFC and Click OK.
(3) You can now restart your computer and touch-wood will be A for Away and OK.
Regards, Thys
NS: Please email me should you find this steps to be to your advantage.

I have the solution. If you have WIN98 or WIN98SE, you can use this solution. Other OS's, use this with caution.

Heres basically all you have to do:
1. Click that start button, then click run.
2. Type in SFC. Windows ME, type in msconfig.
3. In the system file checker, select restore file, then type in OLEAUT32.DLL.
4. When it asks where to restore the file from, you can select either C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS, or you can insert your installation CD and copy it off of there.
5. When it asks if you would like to backup the original file, select ok. (The directory should have the folder Helpdesk/SFC in it.)
6. Press start, or ok, or apply, or whatever. It will ask for a restart, save all work then press OK.

Thats it. It will solve most of the difficulties. It solves these problems:

Difficulties with the Installation Shield (iKernel)

Errors installing certain companies software

The find text error in Internet Explorer 5, 5.5, and 6

Illegal Errors with the file rpcrt4.dll, or Illegal Errors with the file OLEAUT32.DLL.

If you have any other operating system, consult your help file for information on using your OS's System File Checker.

NOTE: This DOES NOT erase anything nor make anything worse. I am not responsible for any errors or physical conditions resulting from this solution.

Thanks for everybody, working hard on this problem. A specially for Thys Taljaard (response 34).
Your solution is the easiest to follow.
I was able to fix my problems with your helpful advice.My Norton up date works again, my IE5.5 works fine and I can install programs too with no problem.

THANKS!! THANKS!! THANKS!! THANKS!!

Thanks Thys (msg 34) for the fix!! I didnt know what the hell was going on...i just typed up a search in google, came straight here, and you helped fix my problem! thanks to everyone....
does anyone know where the hell this problem originated? I didn't realize till now it was such a pain in the ass for more people than just me!
Happy Holidays!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Did i say thank you? I'v been having this problem for almost a year. And its fixed.

I'm back in sync. Thanks HB for being the one to discover the problem and find the solution. I used Thys Taljaard's solution because it was the most accessable for me. Many of us newby's don't have experience with Dos.
Again thanks to everybody........

Hi,
Thanks a lot for this golden tip!!
Installing games for my kids on christmas eve was an annoying experience until I found this link on Google. It sure worked (followed response 34 instructions - brilliant!!).
I notified Symantec as well since I've had trouble with their LiveUpdate for my antivirus and internet security programmes for quite some time and they did not come up with the answer.

If anyone has this problem concerning an incompatible version of the rpc stub where it terminates setup of a program during installation, you can just follow the directions given in reponse #34 (assuming that you have your Windows 98 installation cd). The directions worked for me! Thanks. ^-^

I try too install my cd burner and it comes up with a message:
Error Number: 0x80070725
Description: Incompatible version of the rpc stub
what do i do please help!!!!

THANK YOU, Followed Resonse 35 and it worked. Could not find file on CD for win98SE, but had an old version when I searched my hard drive. Used that one and were working. THANKYOU one and all. Fastest fix to an unknown computer problem I have ever had. Found this searching under google

The problem appears because you either downloaded a program update from a company that updated the oleaut32.dll above your rpcrt4.dll file's version, or you got some program that did it. Answer #34 is the same as mine, answer #35. When you select to restore the file, it restores from the cabs stroed from installing windows. For some reason, peograms don't update both. Both need to be compatible with eachother or you get the error.

I'm having trouble installing programs (specifically, the sims). HB could you please email me the solution to this problem.

just run System File Checker (sfc.exe) and select "extract one file...". now type in "OLEAUT32.DLL" and press start. you will need your windows CD to do this. thanks.

First of all thanx to everybody. I FINALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM!!!!. SECOND I donīt know if this could be of any help, but I discovered that the program that caused me the problem was SIMPLY COOL FTP V1.1. If you overwrite the files prompted, youīll get oleaut32.dll corrupted, if you skip overwriting itīll work fine and will cause no trouble.

Hello everyone,

I just had the same problem, and I found a solution that worked for me (it is a patch from microsoft)
It was an easier way...
u have to download and run this executable
http://download.microsoft.com/download/msninvestor/Patch/1.0/WIN98/EN-US/mcrepair.EXE

for more info on this problem ge here:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3c1ce59d%241%40news.installshield.com

ok, i extracted oleaut32.dll from my cd and restarted, but now Explorer (not ie) causes an invalid page fault whenever i start up, ive made it into dos using a boot disk, so now what? plz help

Thanks for everybody's help and tips.
However, writer #48's response worked for me.

I have windows 95 with Internet Explorer 5.5 installed. When I tried to do a find, I got an error message that said: "ERROR 34 - Incompatible version of the RPC stub".

Cut and paste the link (below). Once it starts installing on your computer, it will tell you if you have newer files on your system.

When it asks if you want to overwrite the "OLEAUT32.DLL',say yes and say NO to all others (that's what I did). Most are system files being used by windows, anyway.
Now I can use my "find" on IE 5.5. Thanks again!

http://download.microsoft.com/download/msninvestor/Patch/1.0/WIN98/EN-US/mcrepair.EXE

Just to let everyone know...the advice on this page, if you are patient and follow it exactly, fixes the problem beautifully!! Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to share their advice! For a month now I haven't been able to open my FrontPage, access any additional windows that I'm directed to, or use the Find command in IE...until just now!!!!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! (Can you tell I'm just a bit excited!)

Take care,
Sarah

You have mail! I sent the file mcrepair.exe from MS to your posted e-mail address. I dug around a long time to find that solution. I was experiencing more problems than just the install. In addition to the RPC stub error when installing/uninstalling IE wouldn't allow any pop-up windows to open(maybe thats a good thing?) and even Nortons live update stopped working. Seems to be a dll file that gets replaced when installing IE6 and obviously theres another way to get this dll file because I have never installed IE6 and I had the symptoms. The solution is the mcrepair.exe from MS. Everything is back to normal for me now.
n/a

Oops! Ignore that I posted to the wrong message!

Wicked. I had a problem installing WinDVD 3.0 on my ThinkPad / WIN98SE and the oleaet32.dll fix in messages 32 and 34 did the trick!!!

Many thanks!

woooooooow
