Instalation error with wininet.dll

[Federica Pavese]

Hi all!
When I want to install my application, I have this error:
"C:\windows\system\wininet.dll"
"An access violation ocurred while copying the file"

What con I do?

Thanks in advance.

How do you "install" it? do you try to COPY it?
If the file is currently in use and you really have to install it (because of a newer version) you can use the MoveFileEx-API (in NT) to copy it after reboot.

Hi, Lothar!
I have made an application (a little program) in VB5. The program use the wininet.dll library. Then, I have made the installer disks (4) with the Application Setup Wizard. When I want to install the program in other machine, appears this error. The other machine have a wininet.dll version 4.70.1300 My program have a version 4.72.2106.5
Maybe the error ocurrs because the Win95 is using the wininet.dll. But what can I do? I can't to copy the file over the anterior file.

WinInet-DLL is used by Internet Explorer.
Maybe you should simply close all running applications when executing your setup.
Or better yet, reboot your machine and do not start any other app except your setup program.

OK.
I have installed the program with all the other applications closed. But I will try it again.
On the other hand, I want to install it from DOS, but I can't. Is that posible?

[Lothar Haensler]

I don't think that it is possible to install it from DOS, because setup1.exe (which is called from setup.exe) is a VB 5 program which requires 32-Bit Windows.
