Can't update dll's

[Bob H]

I am trying to unstall a graphical program written in VB6? and it won't
install because it says (the installer) that some of my files are out of
date, and I would have to reboot my computer to complete the
installation. Well I did that but I still got the same error message.
I then went serching for updated dll's as per the 'setup.lst' versions,
and for some reason it seems I can't overwrite the original
\system32\dll name. Oh I did bak them up first. I forcibly drag the
newer dll across to \system32 then tell it overwrite the original, but
the version nubers remain the same.

What next please?

Thanks

Try to uninstall in safe mode.

Amazingly, that worked ok thanks.
I wonder why it would not install in normal mode?
