SYMPTOMS
When you compile a project, Visual Basic raises a warning dialog box about
Binary Compatibility being broken if there has been a change in an
interface. The dialog box gives the choice to accept the changes (and break
compatibility with older versions) or to cancel the compile (and ensure
that compatibility is kept).
When canceling the compile to keep Binary Compatibility, the following
error message may appear:
Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that
could not be found.
RESOLUTION
This is an erroneous message and can be ignored.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this
bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
