IMWEdit with IMW version 6.52x - Upon opening IMWEdit or loading a database in IMWEdit, the program reports that it can not intialize the database, and then proceeds to open with no active database.

When it is missing, a dialog box is presented that contains the message "Can not find CTL3DV2.DLL. Windows needs this file to run imw.exe". The title of the dialog is usually "Desktop" and the program will not run until the file is located.
