mIRC is designed to operate normally without Microsoft Agent installed - if it can't load agentctl.dll it hides the relevant options and moves on. Adding this warning dialog was a poor choice by Microsoft, as it now requires extra work to check for a functioning Agent installation without triggering the message on Windows 7.
