  • Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set
• The Archive Template Builder program does not run.

ENVIRONMENT

FIX or WORKAROUND

1. Open a command prompt with admin rights and enter the following command:
   • For servers or 64-bit clients:
     • C:\Windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\syswow64\NgArMSLObs.dll
   • For 32-bit clients:
     • C:\Windows\system32\regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\system32\NgArMSLObs.dll

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Generically, the message "object variable or with block variable not set" when it occurs during program load, means that a necessary DLL file could not be found or is not registered. In the case of the NuGenesis Archive Template Builder, the file NgArMSLObs.dll is the most likely reason for the error. If registering this file does not solve the problem, then use the Process Monitor and/or Dependency Walker tools to identify the required DLLs for the program.
