The document information panel was unable to load. The document will continue to open. For more information, contact your sys admin.

I have a custom field type as a dropdownlist which displays the no. of users from the web site. Now I have a document library with this custom field type. When I tries to create a item it opens the MS Word instance and it gives a message as Document Information Panel is unable to load.

After lots of research and debugging the issue on my dev-env, i was able to resolve the issue.
The Steps taken for resolution:

1. Open this location- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Web Designer Tools\Office12\1033\IPEDINTL.DLL
2. copy IPEDINTL.DLL
3. paste it here- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033\IPEDINTL.DLL
4. Close all the applications that are presently open as well as all the browsers
5. Open the sharepoint site in a new browser and check the results !!

Please let me know in case of any issues.. Thanks !! I hope, the above steps will helps you to resolve your issue regarding the same !!
