Installation problem with dBarcode-32 DK and dBarcode-2D DK

Problem
Version 5.01 of dBarcode-32 DK and dBarcode-2D DK were created 
using a new version of Microsoft's C compiler and require the 
presence of updated version of some Microsoft DLLs (MFC42.DLL 
and MSVCRT.DLL among others).
The Setup disks for the kits include the new versions of the 
Microsoft Libraries.

Some users who had a previous version of one of the Developer 
Kits, or software from third parties, installed on their 
systems have found that Setup halts with an "Error in Move 
data - 119".

This occurs when the Setup attempts to self-register the kit's 
dBarcode OCX controls, which in turn require the presence of 
the new Microsoft Libraries. If old libraries are present on 
the target system Setup does not replace these until the 
computer has been rebooted, so they are not available for 
the self-registration process, and Setup fails.

Resolution
At the present time we are unable to  self-register the OCXs 
during setup. The self-extracting EXE files provided on our 
web site have been modified to remove the registration 
process, and this may result in the developer having to 
manually register the OCX(s) with the operating system by 
using the REGSVR32 dbcocx32.ocx command as described in the 
Readme.txt file installed during setup.

Users who purchased version 5.01 and who have this 
installation problem may download the updated version or 
request replacement disks from DL Technology.

The versions of the Microsoft DLLs distributed with the 
dBarcode Developers Kits are:

MFC42.DLL version: 6.00.8267.0 dated: 26 September 1998
MSVCRT.DLL version: 6.00.8337.0 dated: 28 December 1998
