NOTE: This error is generated by BRVB_MGR.DLL, and it is only generated when you are trying to use a VB executable to extend BR functionality, and BR is unable to find that VB executable.
BR could not find BRVB_MGR.DLL
Remedy:
Make sure your PAINTED or BR_VB project is registered in the windows registry (by double clicking on the EXE file) and make sure that DCOMKEY.EXE is registered in the windows registry (by double clicking on it too.) Use REGCLEAN if necessary to determine that BR can find your new executable.
Make sure BRVB_MGR.DLL is located in the same folder as BR.EXE.
