'MSVCRT.DLL for Win32s' errors...

Recommended Posts

Please assist...

About 10-20% of the time that I try to install a program, I get the following dialog (title bar is 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library'):

 

Error: MSVCRT.DLL is not compatible with Win32s.

 

After clicking [OK] to dismiss that dialog, I get a second one as follows (title bar is 'Setup.exe - Application Error'):

 

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.

 

 

Tried APCOMPAT every time - no effect. Also, I checked to make sure that msvcrt.dll hadn't been overwritten - it hasn't. It has a datestamp of Dec 7, 1999, just like most of the other DLLs in the \WINNT\SYSTEM32 folder.

 

The msvcrt.dll file reports a version of 6.1.8637.0.

 

All of the programs that install correctly work great on Win2K - please help me resolve this pesky critter so that I can install more of them. If it helps:

 

Win2K Pro (retail)

no dual-boot

on NTFS partition

 

TIA,

Kenzo
