The error message occurred while attempting to start Express for Windows.
 

This error can occur when attempting to launch a Microsoft Visual Basic® 3.0 application if the file VBRUN300.DLL is damaged or missing. Express for Windows is a VB 3.0 application. The suggested solution in Microsoft® Knowledgebase Article Q139434 is to reinstall the application that is using VBRUN300.DLL.

• Shut down and restart Windows 95 (or Windows 98)

• Search the C: drive for all copies of the VBRUN300.DLL file. 

• Rename any copies found to VBRUN300.OLD

• Reinstall Express for Windows as follows:

  • If the software is installed on a network, rerun the Network Workstation installation option. (See the Express for Windows  installation guide that came with your software.)

  • If the software is installed as a standalone application on a local hard drive, rerun the full installation using the diskettes that were provided by iiX.  (See the Express for Windows  installation guide that came with your software.)

• Once the installation is complete, shut down and restart Windows.

• Attempt to start Express for Windows.
