Strange error. That DLL should have shipped with, if the client software is now making use of a new DLL call.

Have you checked the release notes for the patch thoroughly to ensure that you meet the patch's requirements for installing and patching? If the DLL did not ship, then the patch expects it to be there. Thus there could be something missing from your installation.

Run a search on the system for all oral8.dll's. Could also be that an old one remained behind and gets picked up first in the DLL search path when the app loads (on Windows the search path is, I thinkk, current directory, \WinNT\, \WinNT\system32, DOS %PATH%).
