ACC95: "Unable to Register Mfc40.dll" Error Installing MS AccessID: Q159685
|
When you run Setup for Microsoft Access 7.0 from the stand-alone program
disks or from the Office Professional compact disc or floppy disks, you may
receive the following error message, and then Setup fails:
Unable to register Mfc40.dll
This error may be caused by mismatched .dll files, by hardware or BIOS conflicts, or by a Windows registry problem.
One cause of the error may be a mismatched version of Msvcrt40.dll in the
Windows\System or Winnt\System32 folder. A 65 kilobyte (KB) debug version
of Msvcrt40.dll ships with Visual C++, ActiveX SDK, and Windows NT version
4.0. Because this file is newer than the one that ships with Microsoft
Access 7.0 or Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95, the Setup
program does not overwrite it.
The file installed by Microsoft Access or Microsoft Office Professional is
as follows:
Msvcrt40.dll 312,832 bytes
Msvcrt40.dll 65,024 bytes
Reminder.exe is linked to missing export MFC40.DLL .5782.
