Hi misters,

I continue installing; my production PC is Windows 2003; development environment: using VS 2005 in Windows XP for create Setup Project

I need copy dll (C runtime DLL msvcr71.dll) to windows\system32 directory.

In other forums:

" If you are creating a setup and deployment project in Visual Studio, it
is quite simple: just open the File System Editor, select the option to add
a special folder, add the system32 folder, and drag your dll to that folder.
The dll wil be compressed into the .msi; you don't need to do anything to
embed it into your deployment project."

Now, how I test if the dll is installed yet ?? Can I add any condition anyway in Setup Project ??
The test will be like if !File.Exists("c:\windows\system32\mscrv71.dll")

Thanks in advance and greetings. Your help is very grateful.

That advice is incorrect. What you do is include theappropriate merge module into your setup. That would be VC_User_CRT71_X86_---.msm that should be in ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\Merge Modules.
