Running my setup (trial version) I get the erro message that a dll-file is in use.
I'm trying to "update / install" the following file, but during the setup it is in use and causes the error.
msvcrt.dll (Microsoft visual c++ component)
How can i solve this problem?
Thanx
T.B.
file in use
Windows Installer is unable to update certain files, becuase they are considered to be "system files" to be updated only by operating system service packs, fixes, etc. Assuming this is one of those files:
a) What version of the VC runtime are you trying to install? I'd recommend trying the Visual C++ plug-in that ships with the product if you're trying to install v6. I believe there are also merge modules for later versions of the runtime, in particular v7 and v8, available on the Microsoft web site. However if this file is protected by the system, even merge modules will fail; therefore this leads me to the next possibility, assuming that the file you mention is not a system protected file, in which case:
b) Are there any programs that have locked the file? If so, try closing them and trying again. But even so, Windows Installer will usually request a reboot and finish the job automatically without complaints. So this is really a confusing situation...
If the above tips do not help, please try to post the exact error message...and we'll see if we can figure this one out!
