"Incompatible Version of the RPC Stub" Error Message with the InstallShield Program

Article ID : 321915
Last Review : August 5, 2004
Revision : 3.2
This article was previously published under Q321915

SYMPTOMS

When you install a program that uses the InstallShield program, you may receive the following error message:
Unhandled Exception

Error: 0x80070725
Description: Incompatible version of the RPC stub.

Setup will now terminate.

CAUSE

This issue may be caused by any program that installs different versions of the Oleaut32.dll, Olepro32.dll, Asycfilt.dll, and Stdole2.tlb files (and possibly others). This may create a mixed file version environment with files that are not compatible with each other.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use the appropriate method.
