MSVCRT.Dll is the Microsoft visual C runtime library.
The only reason that I can think that you would get this message is that another application is using the dll when you do the installation or that you may need administrator privilages to register it. If you are doing the instalations on NT or Win2K try running the installation after logging on as an administrator and see if that works.

I am also getting the same problem. I noticed that not only vb setup programs but some other setup programs are installing msvcrt.dll , but they are not giving error or not asking for restart (to update the file before windows loads).
Can somebody give me more information ?
