error during installation [can not register a certain file]
I use VB 6.0 and the supplied installation wizzard.
To run the programme correctly it also uses references to certain dll's
On 95% of computers and OS all the installation goes well without any error message.
From time to time I get the user feedback that the following error message occurs during installation:
"An error occured while registering the file c:\winnt\system32\HTFSIFcl
If the user presses retry the same error happes again, when he presses ignore than the installation continues succesfully.
This happens on NT but also on WIN98 systems.
Is there any reason it does not register certain files, is it because they are already registered??
Any solution

I checked this out, after running the wizzard it statet that for the file HTFSIDcl.dll no dependency information could be found.
that should indicate that there is no dependency file or not???

The Package + Deployment wizard doesnt usually automatically pick up what dependancies a DLL has. You could try the Depends program that ships with VS but Im not sure how good that is.
HTFS may ship with a type library or object library that you may be able to include or HTFS may be able to give you the information

During installation the HTFSIFcl.dll file was not in use because the software was not installed on the machine. So it must be somthing else
