I've installed and uninstalled my programs from several computers so far; none have really had a problem until I just did it on my personal T60. I encountered a few problems and this program is for industry so it really should run flawlessly…. Anyway, immediately after the install is complete, a window opened up with the title “Windows file protection”. This window said, “Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, windows must restore original versions to these files. Insert your Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD now.” It then gives three options “Retry” “More information” and “Cancel”. I didn’t have the disk, so I just hit cancel. The computer still runs, so that’s a good thing.

The next error that I encountered was when I went to uninstall the program using the "add/remove Programs" icon from the control panel menu. At that point it told me about three shared files that could be being used by other programs, and i shouldn't delete them because it could cause problems with other programs. (sorry this is verbatim, I didn’t take s creenshot or anything). At this point it gave me an option to “keep”, “remove”, and “remove all” (there might have been one more option, but i can't remember it off the top of my head).

The three files that it referenced are:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\dao350.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshflxgd.ocx
C:\WINDOWS\system32\VBSDB.DLL (this one could be wrong, I’m trying to remember off the top of my head).

Anyway, I chose to keep all three files, I figured it couldn’t hurt; lol.

The program was written on a computer with windows professional (built on NT technology) as the operating system. Maybe this is the reason why the DLL’s are different between the machines?

Anyway, is there anyway to distribute my program without these warning messages popping up; I really don’t want to scare our customers.

Like I have said I have installed this program onto about 10 machines, and this is the only one that came up with these warning messages. Even with these messages, the computer stil seems to run fine (I am posting this from said computer). With that all out in the open, if you are feeling bold, download the software and install it. It can be found at http://www.reelex.com/Pages/News%20a...er/service.htm

And then the second page break down contains a link that says “download the REELEX packaging program.zip” or the URL for it is http://www.reelex.com/Attached%20Fil...%20Program.zip


(In case anyone is curious before they go and install the software, all the program doesis asks the user to input some #’s and then it runs those numbers through a formula and spits out some results. I would get into details, but without any knowledge of the industry it would be painfully boring. I thought such a simple program really wouldn't encounter so many problems...lol
