That extension is missing or corrupt. Go to another MAC running the same app and copy that file to the other MAC. Don’t be surpised if you need more than that one extension. Hope this helps…Frank

Sometimes you fall into a pitfall copying extensions. You think you need just one, then all of a sudden you find yourself copying 20 extensions (especially when it comes to Microsoft software on the Mac!). You’re best bet is to reinstall Outlook 98.

The previous answers are almost
certainly correct, but there’s a bit more to
it, just to make your life more difficult.

These kind of ‘library missing’ errors
cannot usually be solved by locating a
system extension with that name and
copying it to your system folder. The
libraries cited in these error messages
are almost always really parts of library
collections whose name can’t be readily
determined from the name in the error
message.

For instance, if you uninstall the Apple
Guide extension and then try to launch
Quicken, you’ll get a message that the
AppleGlueGuideLib could not be found –
but that library is part of the Apple Guide
extension, not a separate extension you
can locate and copy to system folder.
