SYMPTOMS
The Service Pack executable file Update.exe calls Patchdll.dll, and if one
exists in the path, it will use that one. This may cause Update to
terminate with the following error message:
An error has occurred. Invalid library procedure: <library procedure>
where <library procedure> is a specific library procedure name. The
procedure name differs each time you run Update.exe.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if Patchdll.dll is in your path. Patchdll.dll is used
during the Service Pack upgrade, but it is removed after the upgrade. The
Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack upgrade does not place the file in your path.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, remove Patchdll.dll from your path.
To resolve this problem, obtain the following fix or wait for the next
Windows NT service pack. The fix is that Update.exe now loads Patchdll.dll
from the directory in which Update.inf is found.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51.
This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack.
