Hi Alain,
that was it. Problem solved. Thanks so much.

Hi Alain,
here is what check_PPT.exe has printed out:

output:
Check CURRENT_USER…
Found nothing
Check LOCAL_MACHINE…
Found something: C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\Office12\POWERPNT.EXE
Check if file exists
Found.

I also used the attached DLL-Files to overwrite the ones currently present in the Slide-Effect directory. The Error messages while importing or exporting are still the same. I also attempted to import the attached test.ppt with the same Error Messages like before. This must be a living bug – lets use some BugExSpray. What am I to do next?

Hi Alain,
if have checked the files and found them both in the SlideEffect directory in the assigned size. Nevertheless I have reinstalled the 1.7.5 also, but nothing changed regarding the Error Messages. So we need to go on with this.

Let me know, what you suggest next.

Sincerely
Janez

Sorry Alain,
I tried just a simple Textslide and used Powerpoint 2007 and Powerpoint 2000. I just tried the export feature, which will bring up the Error Message “Unable to export PowerPoint presentation. Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.”

What else can i do?
