ADT2: ADT ApplicationĘs Setup Cannot Find MSSetup.dll
ID: Q154452
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit, version 2.0
SYMPTOMS
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
After you run the Microsoft Access Setup Wizard and copy the contents of
your disk image folders to diskettes using a computer running Windows 95,
you may receive the following error message when you run Setup.exe from
Disk 1:
Setup cannot access required initialization file: 'A:\MSSETUP.DLL'.
CAUSE
By default, Windows 95 hides .dll files in Explorer; therefore, MSSetup.dll
did not get copied to the diskette.
RESOLUTION
In Windows 95 Explorer, click Options on the View menu, and click the "Show
all files" option on the View tab. Then, copy the Disk 1 folder's contents
to the diskette again.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Run the Microsoft Access Setup Wizard in Windows 95 to create 1.2
megabyte (MB) or 1.44 MB disk images for a run-time application.
- In the Windows 95 Explorer, click Options on the View menu, and click
the "Hide files of these types:" option on the View tab. (This is the
default selection when you install Windows 95.)
- Copy the files in your Disk 1 image folder to a diskette.
- Run Setup.exe from the diskette.
