Components.classes[cid] has no properties!

[Kenny]

Hi, everyone

I have tried creating XPCOM for thunderbird and I have gotten it to
work on a

machine that has Visual Studio 2005 installed. However, when I try to copy
the .xpt and

dll to the "../component" folder, jar file + manifest file to chrome
folder, and register

XPCOM, to another XP machine. I get this "Components.classes[cid] has no

properties!" error. Can someone tell me what I did wrong or missing?

The most likely reason is that the .dll cannot load, possibly because it
needs you to install the latest C++ run-time support DLLs.

Thank Neil for you reply. So I tried to use the dependency walker on the my
DLL on "working machine" and sees that msvcr80.dll is needed. I then copy
the msvcr80.dll to system32 directory of the new machine. However, I still
get the same error.

Is this Windows XP? If so, there are special rules for installing DLLs,
unfortunately I don't know what they are.

I think the .net framework has to be installed + maybe some special install

Take a look at:
