This section describes messages that users may encounter when installing or using the plug-in.
A plug-in for this file type was not found.
Users receive this message if do not have the ACUCOBOL-GT Web Plug-in installed on their machine when they try to launch your application. They should license a copy of the ACUCOBOL-GT Web Plug-in and install it on their machine. The installation script automatically makes a file type association for ACUCOBOL-GT object files (i.e. ".acu" extension) with the plug-in runtime.
Access denied.
If the "acuauth.txt" file is empty or missing from the client machine when the plug-in is invoked, the COBOL application is denied access to the local machine's file system. The user should edit or create an "acuauth.txt" file that contains the names of all required directories.
Blank screen on install.
If users receive a blank screen from Microsoft Internet Explorer when they try to use the Web Plug-in, they may not have all the necessary DLLs copied into their browser's "plugins" directory. Users should place a copy of "wrun32.dll" and "acme.dll" in their browser's "plugins" directory along with "NPacu32.DLL", the license file, and "vic32.dll", and then try the install again. These files can be found in the AcuGT\bin directory on the ACUCOBOL-GT distribution media.
Could not load the plug-in "ACUCOBOL-GT Runtime" for the MIME type "application/vnd.acucobol".
Netscape users receive this message if the required plug-in dll, "acme.dll", is missing from their browser's "plugins" directory. Users should place a copy of "acme.dll" in their browser's "plugins" directory along with "NPacu32.DLL", "wrun32.dll", "acucorp.lic", and "vic32.dll", and then try the install again. These files can be found in the AcuGT\bin directory on the ACUCOBOL-GT distribution media.

Microsoft Internet Explorer users receive this message if the required plug-in .dll, "acme.dll", is missing from their browser's "plugins" directory. Users should place a copy of "acme.dll" in their browser's "plugins" directory along with "NPacu32.DLL", "wrun32.dll", the license file, and "vic32.dll", and then try the install again. These files can be found in the AcuGT\bin directory on the ACUCOBOL-GT distribution media.
Make sure enough memory is available and that the plug-in is installed correctly.
Users receive this message if they do not have a copy of "mfc42.dll" in their Windows DLL search path or if the DLL in the search path is outdated when they try to use the Web Plug-in. Users should place a copy of "mfc42.dll" in their Windows DLL search path, and then try again. Typically, the Windows DLL search path is "c:\windows\system on Windows 95/98" and "c:\winnt\system32" on Windows NT/2000. Users can find a copy of the "mfc42.dll" file in the AcuGT\bin directory on their ACUCOBOL-GT distribution media.
You may only run one instance of the ACUCOBOL-GT plug-in at a time.
A user has tried to start a second instance of the plug-in, and the stand-alone runtime (wrun32.exe) is not found on his or her machine. The user must get and install the stand-alone ACUCOBOL-GT runtime to run multiple COBOL programs at once.
