in distribution package, msvrt.dll is not being copied 1

[557]

using the package and deployment wizard, i've made a package of my software which uses Microsoft Scripting Runtime.

when i install from the package, it says, cannot copy msvcrt.dll because it's in use. close all other applications. no other applications were open.

when i ignored this message and tried to install, it installed successfully and while running the installed program it ran without any problem. but will this create a problem when i install in other computers? what can be the reason for this problem?

The short answer is no

the msvcrt.dll is "Microsoft Visual C++ Run Time library"

you would not get this error message if the DLL was not installed on the pc in the first place

The fact the DLL was install and being used tells you that it has already been registered.

The only problem you might get if u are using a newer version of the DLL than the one istalled on the PC.

thanks AEtherson, so you mean to say that when i install on another computer, this error won't come up coz visual studio is not installed on their pc. isn't it? if visual studio is installed already, and this error comes up, just ignore the error message. right?

depends on the error. But if u get the same one then it should be fine. Just test the app.

To help stop these error messages make sure you close down all applications on the PC before u install your application.
