Re: [WiX-users] RE : RE : Reboot to replace files
Ensure youve got the mfc42.msm from Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 6. Also check that there arent any bugs outstanding the VS merge modules have been notorious for errors causing Windows File Protection to be invoked. Check http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/bugs_msi.htm#wimsm for the latest information (scroll down past the MSDE 2000 Merge Modules myriad issues). I see here that mfc42.msm does indeed have a known problem use Orca to add the required condition to the components. All operating systems with Windows File Protection post-date Visual Studio 6.0, and in all of them, MFC 6.0s mfc42.dll has been a protected system file. Theres no need to overwrite it and the only way it can be updated is with an OS hotfix or service pack. If you still need to ship for Windows 9X or Windows NT 4.0, then include the MSM. -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jacquet Fabian Sent: 22 March 2007 09:25 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] RE : RE : Reboot to replace files I'm sorry, the exact error message is: "The Windows Installer service cannot update the system file c:\WINDOWS\System32\mfc42.dll because the file is protected by Windows.
