More Kicking And Screaming

It appears as if either VC6, MSDN, or the VC6 service pack is the culprit with my MSVCRT.DLL problem. I did a fresh install of win2k, and all the stuff that gave me the error during install did NOT give me the error on this win2k setup. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

Enter DLL hell. Try putting the non-offending MSVCRT.DLL alongside your installation program and see if it helps. Not very sure about this one, but I think DLLs in the same directory takes precedence over other DLLs. -- Ignorant people upsets me.

Are you using XP? If so it would be interesting to install VC6, MSDN and CV6 SP one at a time to see which is the culprit. When you do find the culprit I assume a system rollback will fix the problem. cheers, Chris Maunder

Well, as much of a hassle as it is, I think I'm going to have to have two hard drives - one for gaming, and one for everything else. You can probably pretty much guess that this does nothing for my attitude towards Windows or the cowardice of curs that run Microsoft. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

Well, they could always have said, "Me yes five," or something, in response to my "Me not four". ;P

Well, ok, yes. I was wrong. Though it would've looked cooler with just one long curving thread. But there's always next Sunday evening... ;)

Stuck with? Having been forced to spend the past 5 months working with WinXP boxes, I can say only one positive thing about it - XP does a good job of burning CDs. In every other respect, it is far worse than Win2K. WinXP was a giant step in a new direction, one which should never have been taken. Everything about it sucks; every task is relegated to some damned wizard who must have been dropped on his head as a child to be that stupid. There is no place for user preferences - MS assumes that it knows better than any user what needs to be accomplished, and how to do it. They don't, they never have, and they never will. I will continue to use Win2K for as long as I can buy it, and when the day comes that I can't, I'll switch to another brand. Stick with your Win2K box, Rohit... it will serve you well. WinXP is a travesty that should have never been allowed to happen. Nobody wants to read a diary by someone who has not seen the shadow of Bubba on the prison shower wall in front of them!
