FIX: ODBC SDK May Overwrite Latest Version of Msvcrt20.dll (138817)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition, 32-bit, for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition, 16-bit, for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition, 32-bit, for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition, 16-bit, for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition, 32-bit, for Windows 4.0
This article was previously published under Q138817 SYMPTOMS
If Visual Basic 4.0 is already installed before you install the ODBC
SDK, Visual Basic fails to start and gives this error message:
The procedure entry point _adjust_fdiv could not be located in
the dynamic link library Msvcrt20.dll
CAUSE
The ODBC SDK versions 2.10a and earlier fail to check versions on the file
Msvcrt20.dll. It will blindly copy over any previously existing copy of the
.dll file. In this case, the ODBC SDK is copying Msvcrt20.dll version
2.00.000 over the Msvcrt20.dll version 2.10.000 that comes with Visual
Basic 4.0. Because compiled applications use Msvcrt20.dll (it is a
dependency of Vb40032.dll), this problem may also affect compiled
applications on computers that do not have the Visual Basic 4.0 32-bit
development environment installed.
The ODBC SDK also overwrites the Mfc300.dll file, but this file isn't
included with Visual Basic.
RESOLUTION
Extract the newer version of the Msvcrt20.dll from your original Visual
Basic floppy disks or compact disc, and copy it over the old version
installed by the ODBC SDK. The extract.exe program (a new version of which
comes with Visual Basic) can be run using the following line to extract the
file to the directory you specify (replace the path after the '/l' switch):
extract /e /l c:\temp vb4-1.cab msvcrt20.dll
For more information on Extract.exe, type 'extract /?' at the command
prompt.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in versions of the ODBC SDK
earlier than 2.10b. This problem was correct in version 2.10b and later.
