Reinstalling WRK May Not Re-Create a WRK Program Group (84912)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q84912 SYMPTOMS
If the Microsoft Windows Resource Kit (WRK) for the Microsoft Windows
operating system version 3.1 is deleted from the system (including its
group and directory) and reinstalled, a WRK program group may not be
recreated when it is reinstalled.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the WRK Setup program checks for a previous WRK
installation by looking for the existence of the following files in the
corresponding locations:
BMPVIEW.EXE Specified WRK target directory
TOPHOOK.DLL \WINDOWS directory
VBRUN100.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and then \WINDOWS directory
If any one of these files are found, Setup considers there to be a
previous WRK installation on the machine, so it does not create a new
WRK program group.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:
- Delete the WRK program group.
- Delete the \WRK directory. (BMPVIEW.EXE is the only file that
requires deletion.)
- Delete VBRUN100.DLL from the \WINDOWS and \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directories.
- Delete TOPHOOK.DLL from the \WINDOWS directory.
- Run the Setup program for the WRK.
A program group for the WRK should be created when the installation is
complete.
