Hallo,
having trouble using the exe produced from Gordon's installer.
What can one do to make a sure test and installation of a new enough
version of msvcrt.dll?
What can one do to use a mscvrt.dll from the destination-directory (so
that there's no need to overwrite an existing one)?
For what a purpose produces the installer the msvc i rt.dll
in the dist-directory ?
W98, wxpython2.1.16
thanks, Udo

I don't think Gordon's installer checks DLL versions. You'll probably need
something like InstallShield or one of the alternatives to do something like
that.

It's usually enough to have it in the same directory as the .exe file.

It's the C++ runtime library.

My brother has been working on this issue for several weeks now and seems to
have finally and correctly solved it. Stay tuned for more information from
him over the next day or so.

Not if the DLL is in the known DLLs list. See registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\KnownDLLs
MSVCRT.DLL is "known" to Win 9X and only the one in the windows system dir
will be used. Under NT the list of known DLLs is smaller and what you suggest
works.
If a new MSVCRT.DLL is installed you must install all the matching CRTL DLLs
or the target system may start failing to run some apps.
