PRB: Wrong Mfc40.dll and Msvcrt40.dll from ActiveX CD-ROM Disc

CAUSE

When you run setup (Setupsdk.exe) from the \Msdnsmpl\Tools\Inetsdk\ directory of the Internet SDK on the beta version of the ActiveX Development Kit, the CD-ROM installs the Visual C++ version 4.0 Mfc40.dll and Msvcrt40.dll. These overwrite any newer versions of these files that may already be installed, so they may break some applications already built with Visual C++ 4.1 or 4.2.

The size, version and date of the wrong version files installed in the Windows\System directory are:

   Mfc40.dll     923,408 bytes  Ver. 4.0.5277  date 4/3/96
   Msvcrt40.dll  312,832 bytes  Ver. 4.00.5270 date 4/3/96
				

You can check these file properties from Windows NT File Manager or Windows 95 Explorer.

The Readme.txt file in the \Msdnsmpl\Tools\Inetsdk\Inetsdk\ directory of the beta ActiveX Developmant Kit CD-ROM has a date of 4/3/96 and file size of 16,649 bytes. Later versions of ActiveX Development Kit will have a later date and different size for this file.

The correct size and version of the files in Visual C++ version 4.1 are:

   Mfc40.dll     921,872 bytes  Ver. 4.1.6038
   Msvcrt40.dll  326,656 bytes  Ver. 4.10.6038
				

The correct size and version of the files in Visual C++ version 4.2 are:

   Mfc40.dll     921,872 bytes  Ver. 4.1.6038
   Msvcrt40.dll   65,024 bytes  Ver. 4.2000.6164
