TITLE   :ADT95: Error Installing ADT Application with OLE Controls
PRODUCT :Microsoft Access Distribution Kit
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:7.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbenv

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit, version 7.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run the Setup Wizard in Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit version
7.0 to create Setup files for your custom application that contains OLE
Controls, and then you run Setup for your application on another computer, you
may receive the following error message:

   Mfc40.dll was unable to register itself in the system registry.

When you click OK, you receive an error message that Setup was not completed
successfully.

CAUSE
=====

Your application's Setup files contain a mismatched version of the Msvcrt40.dll
file. The size of the mismatched file is approximately 65 kilobytes, or 65,000
bytes. The size may vary slightly depending on the program that supplied it.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, follow these steps:

 - Rename your existing Msvcrt40.dll file in the Windows System folder.

 - Restore a compatible version of Msvcrt40.dll to the Windows System folder on
   your development computer from your original Microsoft Access for Windows 95
   media.

 - Rerun the Setup Wizard to create new Setup files.

   NOTE: In some circumstances, Msvcrt40.dll may be in use and you will not be
   able to rename it from within Microsoft Windows. If that happens, follow
   these steps:

 - Restore the Msvcrt40.dll from the original Microsoft Access media to a
   temporary folder on your hard drive.

 - Start your computer to an MS-DOS command prompt.

 - Use the MS-DOS Rename command to rename the Msvcrt40.dll file in your Windows
   System folder.

 - Move the restored Msvcrt40.dll file from its temporary folder to the Windows
   System folder.

 - Restart your computer.

You can find the correct 312,832 byte version of Msvcrt40.dll in one of the
following locations:

   Product              Media          Location     CAB File Name
   --------------------------------------------------------------
   Microsoft Office     Compact Disc   \OS\System   N/A
   Professional for
   Windows 95
  
   Microsoft Office     Diskettes      Disk 2       Msoff2.cab
   Professional for
   Windows 95
   
   Microsoft Access     Diskettes      Disk 2       Access2.cab
   for Windows 95

If you have Microsoft Office 95 Professional for Windows 95 or Microsoft Access
for Windows 95 on diskettes, the files are stored in a compressed file format
called cabinet files (.cab). You must use the Extract.exe utility on Disk 1 to
decompress and restore the Msvcrt40.dll file to your computer. For more
information about using Extract.exe, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
================

When you run Setup for some software programs, such as Visual C++, ActiveX SDK,
and Windows NT version 4.0, the program installs a smaller, debug version of
Msvcrt40.dll on your computer. Because that version of the file is newer than
the one included with Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95 or Microsoft
Access for Windows 95, the Setup program does not overwrite it if you reinstall
Microsoft Access. You must restore the correct version of the file manually from
the original media.

Msvcrt40.dll is one of three files you must include with the Setup files for your
custom application if your application uses OLE custom controls. The other two
files are Mfc40.dll and Olepro32.dll.
