    I am slightly upset at this point that the two different Guids in the last post
    _ { the Clsid Guid }
    and
    _ { the other Guid ( related to "human readable description" or "TypeLib human readable name" given in that little window which you use to check a external library reference from the VB Editor , and the one to use in the .AddFromGuid ) }
    are not more similar. Here they are again,
    {0D43FE01-F093-11CF-8940-00A0C9054228} ' Clsid Guid FileSystemObject Scripting.FileSystemObject
    {420B2830-E718-11CF-893D-00A0C9054228} ' TypeLib Guid 1.0 Microsoft Scripting Runtime

    ( But they are a bit similar. Maybe part of them would always be the same?? )

    However, all is not lost., or maybe not always. Take a look at the other info that is sometimes there for a Clsid:

    In particular this: https://i.postimg.cc/nc3B0jrx/Micros...e-Type-Lib.jpg

    So we can see that the info to the TypeLib ( related to "human readable description" or "TypeLib human readable name" given in that little window which you use to check a external library reference from the VB Editor, which is also the one to use in the .AddFromGuid ) is also there.


    What next, getting a bit confused with different Guids and different registry issues.

    I think at this stage, I want to extend the investigation into the Guids on the XP machine that I recently I did the extensive Guid lists on ( https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic....326377#p326377
    https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic....326431#p326431
    ) , just to check out the full Clsid/ Guid situation before and perhaps after the TLBINF.dll registration
