Installation Problem

[Monguse]

I am getting an error that I've never seen before when install a new version of the program I wrote. The biggest differences between the new one and the old version (that install fine) is I've added the Calendar Control and the ADO Data Control and ADO Grid Control to some of the forms.

The error I get is:

**** ERROR The file 'C:\WIN98\TEMP\msftqws.pdw\$(DLLSelfRegisterEx)' could not be registered because it was not found.

Then the program aborts and un-installs itself.

Any idea on how to correct this problem?

Thanks

The MSCAL.OCX has a known problem that occurs when you try to install and register it on a system. See MSDN topic “PRB: Error "$(DllSelfRegisterEx) Could Not Be Registered". This is the fix:
To fix the problem for all setup.exes created with the Setup Wizard and PDW, follow these steps:

1. Open the MSCal.dep file in a text editor, such as Notepad. You should find MSCal.dep in the same folder as MSCal.ocx, which is normally located in the Windows\System folder on Windows 95/98 and the Winnt\System32 folder on Windows NT or Windows 2000.

2. Find $(DLLSelfRegisterEx). You should see $(DLLSelfRegisterEx) highlighted in the entry for "Register=".

3. Change $(DLLSelfRegisterEx) to $(DLLSelfRegister).

4. Save your changes and close Notepad.

5. Run the Setup Wizard or PDW to create a new setup.
