Nope, that's definitely not it. The 401 installation worked fine, and
the DLL was there afterwards as expected. It just didn't behave
like the right one.

I think not but, if it IS, then:
a) It doesn't replace it (the version before and after an error-free
Wise install when the *old* ComCtl32 is on the machine remains
the same -- old, and not imagelist-capable)
b) It only complains when the ComCtl32 from 401 is on the
machine
c) It doesn't complain or seem to touch ComCtrl32 on other
machines, NT or '95.
Thus, not a Wise issue, I think, merely a symptom of the fact
that Wise was the first post-401 install program I ran which tried
to access the DLL.
Odd, definitely.
