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 of the following files for F1.3:

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

or check c:\windows\system (c:\winnt\system32) for the
following files for F1.4 or later:

WBTRV32.EXE
WBTRCALL.DLL
WBTRVRES.DLL
WBTRTHNK.DLL
W32MKRC.DLL
W32MKDE.EXE
NWLOCALE.DLL

The Foundation v1.3 install program writes the btrieve files
to the c:\windows directory by default.

The Foundation v1.4(and later) install program writes the
btrieve files to the c:\windows\sytem directory by default.

Search for the same .dll and/or .exe files in the in other directories
pointed to by the PATH variable. If any of these files are found in
another location there will be a possible conflict between the different
versions of BTRIEVE on your PC. Remove these files from all other
locations pointed to by the PATH variable.

The Faxworks program from Gateway, and novell networks
have been reported use conflicting btrieve versions.
