PRB: RPC Installation Problem (104315)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q104315 SYMPTOMS
There is a problem with the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service
installation. Setup searches the Windows directory for WINSOCK.DLL. If the
file is found, Setup installs RPC16C3.DLL.
This is a problem if you are dual booting a machine between Windows 3.1 and
Windows NT because Windows 3.1 uses an older TCP/IP interface, which is
called RPC16C3X.DLL on the distribution disks. When you run Windows NT, you
will want to use the newer TCP/IP interface, called RPC16C3.DLL.
WORKAROUND
If you are dual booting and using RPC, a workaround to this problem is to
rename your WINSOCK.DLL file to something else, such as WINSOCK.XXX. This
will cause Setup to copy the correct version of the TCP/IP dynamic-link
library (DLL).
