Article #30003: When launching Delphi 7 on a Windows 95 machine you get this error: 'The COREIDE70.bpl is linked to missing export USER32.DLL: TrackMouseEvent'

Problem:

When starting Delphi 7 on Windows 95, I get 'The COREIDE70.bpl is linked to missing export USER32.DLL: TrackMouseEvent'

Answer:

Delphi 7 is not certified on Windows 95 and ultimately we do not recommend that you use Delphi on this operating system. What is happening is that in Windows 98 and later editions of Windows, the TrackMouseEvent function is contained within USER32.dll. However, in Windows 95 it relies on Comctl32.dll to provide that functionality. A potential solution is to update your Comctl32.dll which can be done by installing Internet Explorer 5.5 or later.
