Problem VBE6EXT. OLB

Hello

I installed Solidworks 2015 on a laptop with "Windows 10.

At launch, a window opens informing me that the file VBE6EXT. OLB cannot be charged. I should point out that on my desktop PC, also under windows 10, it works without problem.

Would you have a solurion

Thank you in advance

Hello

If you have Excel on your PC, check that the installed version is compatible with your version of SW, for SW2015 it's Excel 2010 or 2013.

See http://www.solidworks.fr/sw/support/SystemRequirements.html

Also check if this file VBE6EXT. OLB is in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6 folder

Kind regards

Thank you for your answer:

The VBE6EXT file is in the correct folder. On the other hand I don't have any installed on this PC.

I'm going to install it, you never know

Kind regards

SolidWorks 2015 is compatible with Windows 10 except for SP5.

In addition, you have to disable internet access by clicking on the top of the window for the installation to go smoothly (Tip given by the Cadware help service)

My problem is solved, for it to work Exel must be installed

Thank you in any case for your answers

Hello
I just installed the 2022 SP4 version and now I have this VBE6EXT.olb error.
I don't have Microsoft Software on the PC.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thank you all for your help.

Hello @jonathan.gautier_3

First of all, welcome to the forum.
(just a little note: in principle we don't avoid digging up and instead create our own thread)

That said, can you specify why you say "I don't have Microsoft Software on the PC"

In this case, the file is a Visual Basic thing.
My problem is that there are a lot of versions of VB, some of which don't include all the modifications.
The hot line fought for 1/4 hour to get me the good previous version of VB.

As you just installed the 2022 /SP4 so you are under maintenance I suggest you ask the hotline to put back the correct version of Visual Basic.

Kind regards

PS: I'm looking on my machine to see if I can find the 2022 compatible version number

So not the MS Office suite?
It is essential for SW to function properly, so it should be installed first and foremost.
Be careful that it is not a " Cloud " version
