Solution 1:

Check the c:\ACTIVE\SYSLIB\ directory to verify that
the necessary library (*.hdr) files exist.

If so, then there may be another version of BTRIEVE
installed on your PC.  Depending upon your operating
system, check the appropriate c:\windows(Win95,WinNT)
directory for any of the following files:

Wbt32res.dll
Wbtrcall.dll
Wbtrlocl.dll
Wbtrvres.dll
Wbtr32.exe

The Foundation install program writes the above files
to the c:\windows directory by default.

Search for the same .dll and/or .exe files in the
c:\windows\system directory.  If they are also found here,
there is a conflict between the differenct versions of
BTRIEVE on your PC.  Remove these files from
c:\windows\system

The Faxworks program from Gateway has been reported
to do the above.
