    Question Invalid DLL Entry Point - How to handle this Error ?

    When I try to run a Setup application (The Setup application actually registers the Windows Common Controls and other .ocx in the system such as comctl32.ocx, msflxgrd.ocx and a list of others),
    I get the error message "Setup1.exe - Invalid DLL Entry Point".
    After this it says it is unable to register all the .ocx , the setup is
    supposed to register. The OS is a Windows NT 4.0 Server.
    The Setup application is not corrupted. There were no errors during OS installation. How do I resolve this error and proceed with running the setup ?


    Kindly let me know the quickest and best way.

    Invalid DLL Entry Point

    The problem lay in the order of installation of software.
    I tried to install Windows NT Option Pack 4.0 after installing
    MS Office 97. Later when I tried to install an application which simply registers all the ocx ( which we generally use in any vb/vc application) and MDAC , there must have been a version incompatibility (between what files ??!!) and that is why the ocx refused to get registered and threw up the aforesaid error. When I installed Windows NT Option Pack 4.0 before installing MS office 97 and then installed my application, the error did not occur.

    Thanks
