PRB: Unexpected Error C0042116 with PDW: Files Specified in Section RInstallApplicationFiles of INF File <filename>.INF are Busy

• Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When using the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) to deploy an Internet Information Server (IIS) application to a Web server, you receive the following error message:

Unexpected error number C0042116 has occurred: The Web server returned the following error: Files specified in section RInstallApplicationFiles of INF file jallen8.INF are busy. Can not install them unless allowed to do a REBOOT.

CAUSE

You have included WebClass Runtime, Visual Basic Runtime, or OLE Automation files in your package. The PDW is not able to update these system files while they are in use on the Web server.

RESOLUTION

If you do not need to update the WebClass Runtime, Visual Basic Runtime, or OLE Automation files, then create the IIS package without these system files. If you do need to update these system files, then create a Standard Setup Package, which will allow the installation program to reboot.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
