Delphi Troubleshooting
File not found: SHDocVw_TLB.dcu
Symptom:
When compiling a unit a "uses" clause generates the following error:
[Fatal Error] File not found: 'SHDocVw_TLB.dcu'
Cause:
The unit SHDocVw_TLB provides access the TWebBrowser control, for example IHTMLDocument2. However the unit is only available after the Microsoft HTML Object Library has been imported - and if it has not been imported then the compiler will generate this error.
Remedy:
To make the SHDocVw_TLB unit available follow the notes on "How to install TWebBrowser".
These notes are believed to be correct for Delphi 6 and Delphi 7, but may apply to other versions as well.
