Prime95 Windows NT Error [b]SHLWAPI.dll [/b]not found

stealthaxe · 2003-05-08, 14:36

Hi all,

I'm trying to install prime95 on my NT 4 AS box (service pack 6)
and I get this message when I launch the Prime95 application.

Any clues? I didn't find anything about this DLL in the Readme.txt.

As far as I know I have a completely standard Winnt installation.

I'm running prime95 without incident on my win2k systems, and I plan to add it to my linux box later this week.

Thanks,
Stealthaxe

Well, it doesn't look like a rare problem...

Basically, to get round the problem I copied the DLL over from another PC running a newer version of IE. It worked for me and I haven't had any problems on this PC since.

There are also a few download sites around that have the DLL available, for those of us that don't allow Internet Exploder on our machines.
