Package Problem

when i try to run the package i have a problem

"C:\windows\system32\msvsrt.dll"

"The destination file in in - use. Please ensure that all other applications are closed"

I closed the other applications but i have again this problem

msvsrt.dll or msvcrt.dll?

What did you use to create the setup package?

msvsrt.dll or msvcrt.dll?

What did you use to create the setup package?

the msvcrt.dll and i use the Package and Deployment Wizard from visual studio tools

Could be have problem in my code?

msvcrt.dll is the Microsoft C Runtime Library according to some information found on the web.

What else do you have running at the time of the install? Why are you having to deploy this file with your VB app, is there some C dll's or something that are part of your program?

I don't know why i include this dll the wizard made it!
Who can i learn the important dll's for my app.
If i not include this dll i have another problem
The file 'C:\DOCUME~1\takis\LOCALS~1\Temp\msftqws.pdw\$(DLLSelfRegisterEx)'coul d not be registered because it was not found
What's this?

Are you using Win2K or XP and are using less than VS SP5? If so then upgrade to SP5. There is a fix for the problem of updating system files. It'd be worth a try.

I use WinXP. Where can i found VS SP5? and what's this?

Banjo is refering to the service packs for Visual Studio.

Sorry, I really should stop using acronyms so often :)

I installed the vs sp 5 and 6. I rebuild the package but i have the same problem why?

Thank you very much!!!
I solve my problem

What was it?

What was it?

in the package i don't insert the dll and ocx file and everything is right.
My problem was that i include all dll and ocx files because i don't know how can i learn which of this files are important for my application.

Thanks again

The best way is to test your installers on a clean installation of any OSes you plan to support. You can either store copies of clean installs in hidden partitions or use a pc-in-a-window product such as MS' Virtual PC.
