Category: Installation Group: Design Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 2 Submitted By: Daniel Sutcliffe (dansut) Assigned to: Daniel Sutcliffe (dansut) Summary: Bad (but unimportant) installer actions for system DLLs Initial Comment: The MSI package for the OpenSTA 1.4.3 release and earlier is specified to install certain "system" DLLs. These specifically are PDH.DLL, PSAPI.DLL and MGMTAPI.DLL. The installer specification for these is not as Microsoft recommends but this appears not to matter except for reports on some (non-English) installs where error messages may be given about an inability to install over system versions. PDH.DLL and PSAPI.DLL are only required to be installed on NT4 and Microsoft recommends installation in the application directory. The OpenSTA installation has no conitional for their installation and attempts to install in the system directory. It appears that the installation will not be able to overwrite the files in the system directory but that the installer "hides" this error unless on some non-english Windows installations. MGMTAPI.DLL is seemingly not even required by any part of the OpenSTA installation but is still listed in the installer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=110857&aid=1410173&group_id=10857 |
