Hi all,

I have created a package using PDW. While trying to install in another computer it raises the error ("MSVCRT.dll an access violation error occured while copying the file" ..")

i ignore the error and it conrim that the application may not work properly.

The applicatin runs fine. But in one state it raises error and crashes. "run time error".

I am sure it is because of this MSVCRT.dll.

Has anyone had this problem?
what are the causes and how can i solve it?

regards
 
That's because it is probably in use by some program which wasn't shut down (Printer manager, AV program?)

Make sure these programs or shut down.

Or do not distribute it. The same with MFC42.Dll

Try updating the OS on the client with the latest service pack, or have the machine where the package was created the same or older OS.

Last, or maybe first, use a different installation program such as Visual Installer for WinInstaller (FOC from MS) or INNO set up.
