Hey, I know that this is a bit off topic.. I've inherited a system developed under VC++ on a Win2K machine. During installs on a WinNT 4.0 machine (using installshield) the users get an error about missing entry point for SetHandleContext procedure in KERNEL32.DLL. Does that sound like an incompatibility with DLLs on the NT machine?
Any suggestions are hugely welcome<grin>.

Thanks!

Per - I've seen that MSKB article as well and still haven't pinned down the cause of the error. Near the end of the article, they go on to indicate that the problem is caused by 4 specific DLLs and that other DLLs may cause the problem too.... I think it's the other DLLs that are causing the problem.

All,

Still trying to resolved the issue with SetHandleContext following an install on an NT 4.0 box. (The MSKB artical did not help in tracking down the problem.) Anyone have any suggestions?!

Thanks!
