EDWin XP/2000 Setup Problem
------------------------------------


Hello EDWin User,


SYMPTOMS:
When running EDWin XP/2000 setup program or the Autorun program when you insert the CD-ROM, you receive the following error message: 


   The SETUP.EXE file is linked to missing export OLEAUT32.DLL:185.

When you click OK, you receive the following error message, where <Path> is the location of Setup.exe: 

   <Path>\Setup.exe
   A device attached to the system is not functioning.

CAUSE:
Setup packages built with the Package and Deployment Wizard will not run on the original version of Windows 95 due to lack of support for an API function in the file Oleaut32.dll, version 2.1. The failure does not occur on later versions of Windows 95, Windows98, or any versions of Windows NT 4.0 and later. Further, this failure does not occur if another program installation, such as installation programs for Microsoft Office 97, Internet Explorer 3.0, or Internet Explorer 4.0, has updated Oleaut32.dll to a newer version. 


RESOLUTION:
To resolve the problem, the latest Automation files must be installed onto the client machine before SETUP.EXE can run successfully. The latest Automation files may be installed by using VBRUN60.EXE. VBRUN60.EXE installs the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 run-time library (MSVBVM60.EXE) and updates required Automation files used by Visual Basic 6.0 applications (including OLEAUT32.DLL). 

After VBRUN60.EXE is run successfully, the SETUP.EXE program may be run to install EDWin XP/2000 Product.
