Is the program a Windows95 program? That is the only version that
should be written to use riched32 calls. However, you can copy the
riched32.dll file from your Windows partition to the program directory.

This is not recommended as we implement richedit calls differently than
does any version of Windows (there are legal reasons to do this.) You
can set the default to be native, built-in through the libraries tab for
the default installation and then put these files in the program
directories. BTW, Office 2003/2007 do come with their own versions of
richedit and they are installed in the program installation directories
for those programs.
