Pacage & Deployment - Problem

[pammalmohan]

Hi

I've just finished an application (backend Ms-Sql Server 7.0).

While trying to create a setup file using Package & Deployment,
I've encountered the following error message :

"'C:\Winnt\System32\wininet.dll'. The destination file is use. Please ensure that all other applications are closed. "

Pls suggest me how to resolve this problem and create a setup file succesfully.

Moreover tell me whether I need to install Sqlserver on all client machines.

Regards
Mohan Kumar

I use Visual Studio Installer for Win2k / WINNT installs of data access applications and have never ran into that problem...

Make sure you're not using the dll at the time you are trying to add it to the setup.

Regarding your second q, it depends upon your connection string. If it references a database locally, then you'll have to install SQL Server on all client machines. However, if it references a database specifically by name, then it need be only on one machine

Hi Mr.James

Thanks for ur instant reply.
But I don't have Visual Studio Installer. I've got Visual Studio 6 complete set. Is that downloadable...from the net. ???


Hi. Mr.Aaron
No other application was in use while installing. Tell me how to find out whether that dll is in use or not & how to close it if it is in use.

Close any active internet connection b4 using deployment and package wizard!

Hi,

you may wonder y that message was shown. Wininet is the componenet from Microsoft, used to do Datatransfer for a remote machine using ftp / Http. Someone of your previously installed application might be using wininet.dll for datatransfer. So, wat my suggestion is to kill that application temproarily and make that as alive after finishing your installation..

I may not be correct, If so, correct me pls..

A word of caution: Before you add the WinInet.dll file to your setup package, please make sure that it will run correctly on all versions of Windows that you intend to deploy your app on. We had serious problems with our software being tested at our boss' PC, where we accidentally installed a newer version of the WinInet control and our boss had to format his hard drive and re-install Windows to fix the troubles the new WinInet caused.

Ever since, we don't bundle the WinInet file in our app. It uses the available file in the client's PC.
