Created a program in VB6 and compiled it. It goes through it’s “Copying Files” then says some files are out of date and I need to restart to update the files. I’m guessing that it has to reboot so it can register these DLL’s. But when I reboot, it copies the same files again and prompts me for the same reboot every time.
I resolved this problem before by writing a program to register these DLL’s. This was a very painstaking process to run this program on each client install. Now we have a need to deploy this program at remote sites and I will not be there to provide the TLC this registration process requires so I really need to resolve this issue once and for all.
I’ve discovered that the DLL’s are stored in this directory prior to reboot:
C:Documents and SettingsMShea.000Local SettingsTempmsftqws.pdw
The files are as follows:
MSJET40.DLL
EXPSRV.DLL
MSJTES40.DLL
MSRD2X40.DLL
MSREPL40.DLL
MSVCRT.DLL
The SETUP.LST contents are as follows:

Some of the .TLB files had the DLLSelfRegister which I changed each to TLBRegister after the first install failure, but this didn’t help. I would appreciate any input on this.
