I am referencing an MDE file (for which I do not have the original source) in order to utilize some of its contained functions.
The MDE is referencing a discontinued library (OWC10.DLL version 1.0), causing a missing reference error every time I open the code editor.

Fortunately, absence of this library does not impact functionality at all but I would prefer not having this warning come up all the time.

Is there anyway I can suppress it?

That DLL is an Office XP web components file. You could try installing that file. It should co-exist.

Otherwise, the MDE needs updating and without the original source ....

How would I go about installing OWC10.DLL?
My application is deployed on multiple computers so, unless I can just include OWC10.DLL with the application, installing it probably isn't viable.

EDIT:
I downloaded OWC10.DLL from Fix4Dll and placed it in the same folder as my application. Voila, the error message is gone.

That's what I meant by installing the file. Similarly for any other PC running your application.

I was thinking I'd have to run regsvr32 or the like, I didn't realize it was as simple as placing the DLL in the application folder.

In many cases it isn't that simple and it is usually safer to add the dll file to the windows system32 folder.
