Bummer... $50.00 down the drain
I spent $50.00 today to enable a popular download site to evaluate and hopefully approve my app for redistribution. It didn't get very far. Evidently, during installation on their Windows 98 machine, an error occurred. As they state:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RichEd32.dll
An access violation occured while copying the file.
I'm not sure there's a work around for this, but I only have so many $50 bills. I have a gut feeling though, that this error was no fault of my own. I'm betting this is a bug with Windows 98.
Anyway, has anyone else experienced this problem when re-distributing the riched32.dll?
Do I need to? Maybe every 32 bit systems have it?
Thanks in advance.

I can't believe that all this time I have been using msdos batch files and the VB pdw to deply apps. This link kicks butt!!! The best and most flexible installer around!!!

I thinks with a bit of the pascal scripting you should be able to check and handle access violations on the target machines as well
Good luck
