PRB: VC Installation Hangs With Message "Updating Registry" (190796)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition 5.0
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition 5.0
This article was previously published under Q190796 SYMPTOMS
Visual C++ 5.0 Setup hangs with the following message:
Updating Registry
CAUSE
A third-party provider has replaced WSock32.dll.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, perform the following steps: - Exit Setup.
- Exit all applications that use WSock32.dll, typically Internet
related applications.
- Rename WSock32.dll to WSock32.3rd:
REN WSOCK32.DLL WSOCK32.3RD
On Windows 95 this file is found in %SYSTEMROOT%/SYSTEM, and on Windows
NT this file is found in %SYSTEMROOT%/SYSTEM32. - Copy over WSock32.dl_ from your operating system media disk to the same
directory in step 3.
- Expand the file WSock32.dl_ to WSock32.dll:
EXPAND WSOCK32.DL_ WSOCK32.DLL
- Run Visual C++ 5.0 Setup.
- After a successful setup you can revert back to your old third party
WSock32.dll although this is not recommended.
STATUS
This behavior is caused by a third party who has been made aware of the
problem.
