Vista built setup vs XP \winhttp.dll
Hi All!
I have built the setup for my application on Vista PC. My application requirements are NET Framework 3, Jet 4., MDAC.In the Installation Designer of IS2008 I selected the NT,XP,W2000,MS2003 and Vista as target Operation Systems.
After installation of my application on XP PCs (all-XP SP2), for part PCs several other applications (i.e. MS Messenger) put following error messages "The procedure entry point strncpy_s could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll". (Not for all XP PC, some XP PC only).Vista PCs do not issue this error (or I have a little statistic sample).
The same application setup package which was built on XP PC (IS 11.5) did not lead to erros/warnings from other applications.
First impression is what Vista built setup damages some XP dll-s(i.e winhttp.dll).
(Or I confused:confused: )
Empirical solution: overwrite system32\winhttp.dll , reverte to the old version of 'winhttp.dll" in system32 folder and it seems to have solved the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
Dmitry

Are you explicitly including winhttp.dll in your installation, or is it being pulled in by a dependency scan at build? If the former, this should be trivial to fix, and if the latter it's still easy but also might represent a bug on our end. For the latter case, please see the file Filters.xml in the help, stored in the support folder of the IS2008 installation.
My copy of Filters.xml includes a block for winhttp.dll, so I suspect your installation is explicitly including this file (as the filtering only applies for files added due to depenendency scans and the like).

Thanks!
My setup does not explicity include winhttp.dll.
I 'll check the content of Filters.xml
