Hello

When I build my .msi, I get this error :

ERROR: 'shdocvw.dll' should be excluded because its source file
'C:\WINDOWS\System32\shdocvw.dll' is under Windows System File Protection.

So the .MSI package is built anyway, but the installed application doesn't
work because a file is missing ( the application works, except when I try to print or to show a preview. These functions use printDialog, printDocument, printPreviewDialog ...).

How do I include this component?

Thanks
Troz

 
Due to licensing requirements, the shdocvw.dll cannot be included in the installation program. If the end users have at least Internet Explorer 3.x installed, then they do not need this driver anyway. Neil Konitzer

Don't distribute this file. If they need it, they should install the latest (or any version since 4.0) Internet Explorer.
