August 25th, 1999, 08:28 PM
Hello..guys.

I'm running Windows 98, and trying to install Visual C++ 6.0 on my computer.
But, at the end of installtion, I met this error message and can't figure out
what on earth is wrong !

Error Message : " vsdpl.dll can't be registered in the system registry "
(may not quite the same message I saw but the error message went like this above)

and the other .dll registration error was followed (Unfortunately,I can't remember the name now..)

Please Help!!!!

while not being totally 100% positive, I believe this problem is occuring because the registry in Windows 98 is full.

In Windows NT the registry is able to grow to accomodate extra data almost indefinitely while Windows 9x is fixed to a finite and non too large size.

Probably have to uninstal some other rograms and hope that the registry is cleaned by their uninstall routines.

Hope this helps.
