SYMPTOMS
Under some conditions, during the installation of the Windows NT 4.0
Option Pack, the Visual Basic 5.0 run-time dynamic link library (DLL)
Msvbvm50.dll is marked with the read-only file attribute. This causes
errors when you run any setup program created by the Visual Basic Setup
Wizard. In some cases, it will cause an error with components created by
Visual Basic that are downloaded into a browser.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design.
RESOLUTION
To solve this problem, remove the read-only attribute from the
Msvbvm50.dll file on the server.
