i-doser setup damages win 98 libraries
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2007 11:35 am
hi, since there is no linux version for idoser i resorted to the windows installer. once rebooted in my historical but working windows 98 partition i ran the installer and rebooted. soon i remembered why I abandoned the MS world years ago: troubles !
it appears that something is gone wrong with OLEAUT32.DLL
. the system cant access the library, most applications -rescue ones too-just plain dont work -cant even browse files 
. idoser itself complain about the 'missing' library (which actually is in place)
now, since my antivirus -AVG- at the same time decided that it was time for an upgrade, and installed a new version of itself i cant tell for sure what of the 2 installs went bonkers. so my question is: does the installer replace the oleaut 32 file ? have I to restore and rgsrv a previous copy of that file ? and what files beside the ole automation library stuff is replaced ? having previously dealt with crappy installers maybe i have some chance to fix the windows install, with some help from your side, if actually the failure comes from i-doser.
