When you try to move (or cut and paste) multiple read-only dynamic-link
library (.dll) files to another disk or network drive, you may receive an
error message similar to one of the following error messages:
Error Moving File
Cannot move <Filename>.dll: The file exists. Error Copying File
Cannot copy <Filename>.dll: There has been a sharing violation. The
source or destination file may be in use.
Note that the <Filename>.dll file on the destination drive has a size of
zero bytes. If you try to delete this file, you receive the following
error message:
Cannot delete <Filename>.dll: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file
is not currently in use.

then delete the file. For information about how to delete a file, click

Move the Read-Only .dll Files

type "copy" (without quotation marks), and then double-click the "Copying
Files, Folders" topic.
