Description vitriol 2009-02-02 14:08:49 UTC 
OOo 3.0.1 under Windows Vista.
Steps to reproduce:

1) Open Wordpad application
2) Select Menu:Insert > Object... (translated from Italian)
3) Try inserting a OOo object (i.e. OpenDocument - Spreadsheet)
4) ERROR: Error creating object. (translated from Italian)

Priority changed.
Comment 2 tommy27 2009-02-02 16:12:14 UTC 
If this issue is confirmed it probably represents a regression from OOo 3.0.

i suggest to consider it as an OOo 3.1 stopper here at: 
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=95768
Comment 3 hennerdrewes 2009-02-03 11:41:22 UTC 
Confirming this on Vista, but certainly true for all windows versions.

The InprocHandler32 registry key for OOo formats points to 
<OOo installation path>\program\inprocserv.dll

This dll can be found at 
<OOo installation path>\Basis\program\inprocserv.dll.

After correcting the registry value, there is still a problem, because
uwinapi.dll is not found. After copying uwinapi.dll to the Basis\program
directory, it is possible to start OOo as OLE server via Insert, Object...
Comment 4 Olaf Felka 2009-02-03 12:53:38 UTC 
Yes, this is a stopper for 3.1. I's not a regression from 3.0 to 3.0.1. This
library is new to OOo 3.0.1.

Adding myself to cc.
Comment 8 Stephan Bergmann 2009-02-04 13:13:00 UTC 
@mav,hjs:  That inprocserv.dll depends on uwinapi.dll (which it will not find
when loaded into a process that has a PATH that does not include the OOo URE
layer bin directory where uwinapi.dll resides) is an error.  It is caused by
VERSIONOBJ= at tags/DEV300_m41/embedserv/source/inprocserv/makefile.mk l. 47,
which causes no generated version.obj to be included but apparently does not
prevent GetVersionInfo from being added to the inprocserv def file.  When
linking together inprocserv.dll, the linker then uses the GetVersionInfo from
the otherwise unused uwinapi.lib implicitly contained in the list of libraries
linked against.  (This in turn is probably due to the DEF1EXPORTFILE in
embedserv/source/inprocserv/makefile.mk, as for example
tags/DEV300_m41/extensions/source/activex/main/makefile.mk also sets VERSIONOBJ=
but does not export any GetVersionInfo.)
Comment 9 Olaf Felka 2009-02-04 13:24:26 UTC 
@ SB Please take over
Comment 10 Olaf Felka 2009-02-04 13:26:21 UTC 
of: Just fixing the registry entries for inprocserv.dll doesn't solve the problem.
Comment 11 Stephan Bergmann 2009-02-04 13:34:54 UTC 
@hjs: please take over
Comment 12 hjs 2009-02-05 13:39:17 UTC 
inprocserv.dll no longer depends on uwinapi.dll. follow-up issue will clean up
the inconsistencies when using

VERSIONOBJ=
