Hi,
Extract from Microsoft KnowledgeBase Article 163723:
"Although the KiXtart documentation does not mention it, Msvcrt.dll is required for KiXtart to run"
Appreciate your advise if it's true that the file MSVCRT.DLL is required in the netlogon directory?
Thks.

Heres a brief list of known dependencies:
code:
ADVAPI32.DLL GDI32.DLL KERNEL32.DLL KIX32.EXE MPR.DLL MSVCRT.DLL NETAPI32.DLL NTDLL.DLL OLE32.DLL OLEAUT32.DLL RPCRT4.DLL USER32.DLL VERSION.DLL WINMM.DLL WINSPOOL.DRV

Perhaps I missed that step in the install instructions - maybe I should RTFM

I've got both Win95, 98, 2K and XP machines (majority is Win2K, in progress of migrating PC OS).
Interestingly, I'm using KiXtart 4.1x on Win2K Adv Svr DCs (in AD), without running KXRPC service on the DCs or the MSVCRT.DLL file in NetLogon. And, I've not seen any problem on the pilot Win9x/2K machines (abt 10) yet.
However, I'm just concerned if it'll create any problem or instability issues in the future.
Anyone can confirm if it's still required for KiXtart 4.1x, as the KB article is targetting at KiXtart 3.21.
Thks.

Two things..
(1) Analysis of KiX-related files May also shed some light on DLLs.
Les - Took your advice and had this topic copied to the "KiXtart FAQ & How to's".
Not to be nitpicky. (2) FYI - Heads Up- Microsoft's Knowledgebase Changes
The Microsoft "Q" system is going away and is being replaced with simple numbers.
This has also been copied over to the "KiXtart FAQ & How to's".

Like Sealeopard says: No DLL problems on ’virgin’ systems – not even 95 using KiX 4.12 (If KxRPC for KiX 4.12 is installed)
Using Dll´s from netlogon instead of %Windir%\System32 or %Windir%\System might make logon from KiX complete successfully. BUT if 'bad' versions exists in the system directory, programs that depends on these DLL's will crash anyway, if the installed DLL´s are wrong.
I have had one experience this week where I had to track the DLL´s used by a program. In this situation, it showed up that NT+ DLL´s where installed on a Win9x workstation.
How to track DLL dependencies: Start the failing application on a workstation where the application works, and use a tool like pv.exe to extract the dependant DLL/OCX files names and versions, and compare these values to the version-info for the failing workstation.
A lot of these wrong DLL´versions could come from BAD install scripts where the installer installs its own DLL’s:- Always
- If the version installed is different – assuming the one in the install is always the newest
