All you know so far is the version number of the failing DLL. Whatever it
needs will be higher than that, since almost all new dll's are backwardly
compatible on entry points. You rightclick a file, then properties to see
the Version info. It's possible you might even own more than one right now,
and an older one is being found at a closer path than the needed, newer dll.
Perhaps a Service pack took out one you need, and it resides in the SP
'uninstall' folder.
