Why Trust Us

Question:
I created a setup program with the Setup Wizard. I try to install my program on another computer, and the message following appears:

C:windowssystemmsvcrt40.dllAn access violation occurred while copying the file.

Answer:
This type of message normally means that the file, MSVCRT40.DLL, is in use. Before attempting to install your application, reboot the machine and do not start any other applications before running the installation program. If the file is in use, you cannot copy your file over it.
