Subj : Re: build-custom-DLL-at-install-time? To : Frank Haber From : Rich Date : Thu Mar 15 2001 11:21 am From: "Rich" <@> As I've said several times, I'm not aware of any building of = executables at install time since the days of MS-DOS and CP/M. I don't understand the reference to DIR choosing between two = instances of USER.EXE. The problem as it was describe in what I read is = that the index used by SFC pointed to the wrong instance of USER.EXE in = the setup related "mini" CAB instead of the instance used by Windows 98 = in one of the other CABs. Rich "Frank Haber" wrote in message = news:3ab0f26a$1@w3.nls.net... I certainly didn't start the rumor in my circles. Sorry to be = Clintonesque, but what file(s) are you aware of that are built as a compendium at = install time, as a result of hardware enumeration and detection, be they executables, libraries or resource files? I'll try to jog my memory from this end as well. Yes, the mskb item seemed to describe a simple case of 98SE, only, = using raw DIR order in choosing one of two USER.EXEs. The extract fix, however, = did not work in at least two cases I know of. -- -frank --- XP Toss HTML Stripper v0.3.4 * Origin: Barktopia Gating Project (1:379/100) .
