SYMPTOMS
========
Visual C++ 5.0 Setup hangs with the following message:
Updating Registry
CAUSE
=====
A third-party provider has replaced WSock32.dll.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, perform the following steps:
1. Exit Setup.
2. Exit all applications that use WSock32.dll, typically Internet related
applications.
3. Rename WSock32.dll to WSock32.3rd:
REN WSOCK32.DLL WSOCK32.3RD
On Windows 95 this file is found in %SYSTEMROOT%/SYSTEM, and on Windows NT
this file is found in %SYSTEMROOT%/SYSTEM32.
4. Copy over WSock32.dl_ from your operating system media disk to the same
directory in step 3.
5. Expand the file WSock32.dl_ to WSock32.dll:
EXPAND WSOCK32.DL_ WSOCK32.DLL
6. Run Visual C++ 5.0 Setup.
7. After a successful setup you can revert back to your old third party
WSock32.dll although this is not recommended.
STATUS
======
This behavior is caused by a third party who has been made aware of the
problem.
