Error: Internal error 200507191645

When first starting up SSI Web, you get an error that says: "Internal Error 200507191645, Could not create the CoUtf8FileLib.CoUtf8File COM Object, Please contact Sawtooth Software for assistance."

Version: 5.4.0 and later
Products: CiW, ACA/Web, CBC/Web, and MaxDiff/Web

Issue

When starting SSI Web, the following error appears:

internal error 200507191645

Cause

This error occurs when the CoUtf8File.dll file (which installs with many of the newer versions of Sawtooth Software products) is not registered in the windows registry, or is not present.

Resolution

Sawtooth Software has created a file that will try to register the CoUtf8File.dll file. It can be downloaded here. After downloading the file, unzip it and then double-click it. (NOTE: The file that you are going to run was created using Microsoft Scripting. If you have anti virus software installed, it may report that a "Malicious script" has been detected. We recommend that you allow the script to run once. The script only registers the CoUtf8File.dll file in the Windows registry.)

If this does not solve the problem, please contact technical support for additional help.
