msvcrt.dll is not included in the JRE 1.1.7 installation package. It should be installed into
<Win NT HOME>\system32 directory.
(Review ID: 39728)
======================================================================



This may be a documentation issue : can someone verify that the msvcrt.dll
that this user is seeing in the <Win NT HOME>\system32 ( 261K, dated 9/5/98)
is what was installed by the installer?

There is a msvcrt.dll in <Win NT HOME>\system32 . 261K, dated 9/5/98.
Is this the files I should use when I re-distrubute the JRE?

We re-distrubute the JRE with our applicaton. I installed the
new 1.1.7 JRE and opened the readme file and began copying the
"required files" into my installer. When I got to msvcrt.dll is was not
to be found, but the readme says it is required. the 1.1.6 JRE
installs.

Does this mean that you want the msvcrt.dll to be installed in the
system32 dir when I re-distrubute the JRE?

That would really suck. I want all the JRE to
be contained in my install dir. If I put it in the system32 some
other install program will overwrite it in the future and my application
will break.

This is the main reason why software has such trouble installing
on windows, because everyone puts DLL files in the system32!

If you're having trouble with other version of msvcrt.dll in installed,
just call LoadLibary() and GetProcAddress() and don't
allow windows search and load the DLL for you.
