Re: Install application on Windows 2003 SBS

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi John:

This is a system file protection message; and I don't think it is wise to
even try to defeat it on Windows 2003.

If you need the STDOLE2.tlb on Windows 98 and NT, I would make a separate
InstallShield project for those platforms. Since those operating systems
don't have SFP, you should not have a problem. Then make another install
package without the STDOLE2.tlb for the other operating systems. Does this
sound like a viable plan?

I hope this helps.
