msvsrt.dll or msvcrt.dll?

What did you use to create the setup package?

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?

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.

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.
