- The solution to your problem is to quit all other applications before you
- continue with the installation. At the point when you get the message
- about MSVCRT20.DLL take a look at the task bar. You should see the
- MSVC setup program running, and another program (I don't remember the name)
- which is that top level menu from the CD-ROM. If you quit that program
- and then click retry in the dialog things will proceed normally.
-
- I guess that Microsoft really does "eat it's own dog food" and used the
- Visual C++ tools to build that cool menu program that launches the
- installation of Visual C++. Too bad they didn't use static linking for
- that menu program. Alot of headaches would have been spared then.
