We have a XP SP2 system that was corrupted by an old product install
resulting in the problem described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324762. Notably, MSVCRT.DLL gets clobbered
by the installer. However, how can this problem occur if Windows File
Protection is enabled and is supposed to protect all system DLLs?
I understand that WFP will "notice" that a system DLL is replaced within a
minute of it's overwrite. Is it possible that a quick system reboot after
the installer finishes (typical of InstallShield) prevents the replaced DLL
from being fixed?
