.DLL error after W2k install

[Mark]

Loaded W2000 pro onto newly built PC (1.7 Celeron, 128mb
RAM) and everything seemed to load fine except now,
everytime during bootup just as desktop appears, error
message appears: MSVCP60.DLL could not be found in the
specified path C:\WINNT .......etc.
Then I close box and all is well, or is it?
Don't know if there is a problem or not but is annoying. I
don't know how to find, copy and insert lost files if it
is necessary.
Any help?
Thank you.
Mark

You can expand a new copy of the C++ Runtime Library from your Windows 2000
install CD-Rom

From a command prompt you can expand the file. An example;

expand E:\I386\MSVCP60.DL_ %windir%\system32\MSVCP60.DLL
would expand a new copy to the \system32 directory.

Also you'll want to use the correct version for the service pack level
you're at. So you may need to extract the file from a service pack.

To extract the service pack files without installing them, execute
J:\W2kSP4\W2KSP4.exe /x
Then when prompted, specify a directory to hold the extracted files.


On another note be sure to install these before connecting to any network
(including internet)

That file is downloadable from (and explained on) the web.

Google for "msvcp60.dll" (with the quotes.)
