Thanks, Isabelle! Good article. What surprises me is that msoshext.dll
doesn't ship with Office NOR dsofile.dll since it's dependant for use
with MSO12 and later.

I find the msoshext.dll here...

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12

..on my XP machine. I haven't installed the Compatibility Pack on my
Win7 Pro x64 machine as yet and so can't say where it installs. (I
assume Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12)

The Microsoft page I saw said it was good for OSes up to Vista (so I
did Not DL it), so maybe this is addressed in a different manner in
Windows 7 systems, and that is why it is no longer simply provided or
integrated in?

I installed the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack and dsofile and all is
working fine on my Win7 Pro x64 machine!
