I have an application - no source -- no installer. This application does run, however, it errors when trying to make use of it. The error is:
The Jet VBA file (VBAJET.dll for 16-bit versions, or VBAJET32.dll for 32-bit versions) failed to initialize when called. Try reinstalling the application that returned the error.
I've attempted to get this application working, but no luck. I do have a PC that can run the application. I ran it on that computer, tried dependency-walker, tried disassembling, and tried copying all the DLLs I could find this way, but no luck.
Any ideas?

RegSvr32
--------------------------
vbajet32.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.
This file can not be registered.
Being that I have the other computer that runs the application fine, is there any way I can see what version it is using and copy it over? I've had no luck as of yet.
Simply find the file on the other machine and right click it. Then click Properties and then the Version tab to check the version.
It can't do any harm to copy that file to the same folder on the new machine and see what happens. I suggest you rename the existing file on the new machine (to vbajet32.old perhaps) before overwriting it.
If that doesn't work I'm afraid there is not much else I can suggest.

VBAJET32.dll was part of the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC), although it is not included in the current version.
If you haven't got the file on your system, you can download the latest JET service pack at http://support.microsoft.c
Installing this should register the dll on your system and allow you to run your application (unless there are other unregistered dll's that cause further errors.) Of course your error could be casued by the incorrect version of the file being on your system - it could be an older version of JET- in which case you might be stuffed, unless you can find an old compatible copy!
If you already have the file in your Windows/System32 folder, try regietering it with 'regsvr32.exe vbajet32.dll' from a command prompt or the Run dialog.
