SMSINST: Installer Script Calls CTL3DV2.DLL on NTW When 'Silent Install' and 'Use 3D' Are Unchecked

ID: Q235741

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer version 2.0
Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

When you run the executable compiled by the 16-bit version of System Management Server Installer the following error may appear if the CTL3DV2.DLL file does not exist on the target Windows NT Workstation:

CTL3DV2.DLL has not been correctly installed...installation could not continue.

This file is only needed on 16-bit clients when the Use Internal 3D Effects box is checked in Installation properties of the program. The program was compiled on a 16-bit operating system which requires a CTL3DV2.DLL to run 3-D effects. A 32-bit operating systems uses the CTL3D32.DLL.

If you are going to run the program on a 32-bit operating system, compile the program on a 32-bit operating system rather than on a 16-bit operating system.
