PC Forms: Error Copying Files in Setup (103290)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, when used with:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2
This article was previously published under Q103290 SYMPTOMS
When you run the Setup program (SETUP.EXE) to install version 1.0 of
Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, you may receive one or both of
the following error messages:
Error copying file VBRUN200.DLL to C:\WINDOWS
THREED.VBX could not be installed
These errors can occur if newer versions of the above files exist in
the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
CAUSE
The Electronic Forms Designer uses the Microsoft Visual Basic Setup
program to install its components. There is a problem with the
Microsoft Visual Basic Setup stub that displays the above messages
when you try to install over a newer version of a particular file.
In addition, the error dialog box for VBRUN200.DLL has the path
C:\WINDOWS hard-coded into it. This is incorrect--the files are
installed in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and not all systems have a
specific WINDOWS subdirectory (for example, WIN31).
RESOLUTION
To install the Electronic Forms Designer after receiving one of the
above error messages, perform the following steps:
- Rename the offending file in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory by
changing the extension from .VBX to .OLD (for example, VBRUN200.OLD
or THREED.OLD).
- Run Setup to install the Electronic Forms Designer.
- Replace the file installed by the E-forms Setup program with the
.OLD file created in step 1 by renaming it to the appropriate
filename.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be problem in version 1.0 of Microsoft
Electronic Forms Designer. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
