I receive this error: "The ordinal 788 could not be located." Now eM Client will not open. Help.

Hello John, not completely sure what kind of error you’re referring to, can you please make a screenshot of the error message and submit it to us here on the forum for more information about this issue?

Thank you,

Specifically, the error message is:  “The ordinal 788 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll”

Hello, thank you for submitting the error report, I haven’t come across this error yet, but we’ve did a little check and it seems an invalid Internet Explorer installation can cause this issue - eM Client is built on top of the .NET framework which uses some of the Internet Explorer system controls/features.

Please try to repairr your internet explorer installation or reinstall IE, and check if the issue persists.

Regards,

Thank you. I was unable to repair the IE installation, so I re-installed Windows. Time-consuming trouble, of course, but it fixed the problem. Now all is well. Again, thanks. I like eM Client A LOT!!

Hello John, glad it works, please make sure to let us know if you come across any other issues or questions about the application, we’ll be happy to help.

Regards,
