I've also had substantial struggles with this some time ago.  As I recall 
you're supposed to register a resource dll with requisite string resources 
in order for this message to go away, or you have to bind it into your 
application exe file and register it in the appropriate place... (can't 
remember where, will google in a moment.)  I never could quite manage to get 
that to work properly.   There's also a free component which is supposed to 
take care of all the registration and resource requirements for you, 
AFPEventLog, but this didn't work for me either.  (It worked inasmuch as it 
put entries into the event log, but still with the attendant error message 
that you're trying to eliminate.)  Maybe it works works for you, if so I'd 
like to know what you did.  You can download it from 
here:http://www.delphi32.com/vcl/2334/download,xid,2334.asp

Also, here's more relevant discussions etc. on this topic here (I seem to 
remember having referred to Colin Wilons's posts last time I tried to solve 
this issue, very good apart from the fact that I couldn't make it work!):

Anyway HTH (and please post back if you make progress with this)

Thanks
