• Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 6.0
• Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 6.0
• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0
• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0
• Microsoft Visual J++, version 6.0
• Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows 6.0
• Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0
• Microsoft Visual Studio, Enterprise Edition 6.0
• Microsoft Visual Studio, Professional Edition 6.0

SYMPTOMS

While the message, "Setup is searching for installed components" is displayed during Visual Studio Setup, the following error message appears:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

ACMSetup caused an Invalid Page Fault in module kernel32.dll.

CAUSE

This problem can occur for a variety of reasons, but it mainly occurs in two scenarios:

• An Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) component is in use.



• Mismatched ODBC files or dependencies were placed on your computer by an installation program.

RESOLUTION

If the file is in use, restarting your computer and running Setup again will result in a successful installation.


If restarting your computer does not resolve the error, two possible fixes are available:

1. First, update the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) to version 2.1 Service Pack 1.

   For x86 computers, go to http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/uda/mdac21/mdac_typ21.asp.
   
   For Alpha, see http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/uda/mdac21/mdac_typa21.asp.

   For more information on MDAC 2.1, please see the following Web page:




http://www.microsoft.com/data/MDAC21info/MDACinstQ.htm

2. If updating MDAC does not resolve the error, then copy the following files to C:\Temp (where C:\ is your system drive). Next, copy the same files in D:\OS\System from Disk 1 of the Visual Studio CD (where D:\ is your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive) to C:\Windows\System. Choose to overwrite the files if prompted.

   Ds16gt.dll
   Ds32gt.dll
   Mtxdm.dll
   Odbc16gt.dll
   Odbc32.dll
   Odbc32gt.dll
   Odbcad32.exe
   Odbccp32.cpl
   Odbccp32.dll
   Odbccr32.dll
   Odbccu32.dll
   Odbcint.dll
   Odbctrac.dll
   Odbcinst.hlp
   Odbcinst.cnt
   Odbccp32.cpl
   Mfc42.dll
   Msvcrt.dll

   After copying the files, restart Windows and run Setup again.
