You receive a warning message in the Setup Wizard when you use Office 97 Developer Edition Tools to create a custom application that includes ActiveX controls (163184)

   File 'C:\Windows\system\ComCat.dll' is also required by a Microsoft
   Access-provided component. Some properties you have set may be modified.
				

   If you have not included this file in your Setup program, it may be one
   of the files needed by an ActiveX control you have added.
				

MORE INFORMATION

When you include the Run-time option, Comcat.dll is automatically included behind the scenes but is not added to the Add Files List. When you add an ActiveX control (.ocx) file on the Add File page of the ODE Setup Wizard, the Setup Wizard searches for the dependency (.dep) file for this control. If it finds the .dep file, the Setup Wizard will automatically add the supporting file(s) specified in the .dep file to the List Of Files list on the Add Files page. Comcat.dll will be included in this list for most of the ActiveX controls included in the ODE. So if you are including the Run-time option and an ActiveX Control whose .dep file includes Comcat.dll, Comcat.dll is really being included twice. This is why you receive the warning message described in the "Symptoms" section.
