msvcrt.dll : ??_u@yapaxi@z

I get this error message "Msvcirt.dll file is linked to
missing export msvcrt.dll : ??_u@yapaxi@z "

I'm looking for the same resolution for Windows 2000 as
provided by the link below for Windows Millenium and Win
98. I tried MSconfig and SFC but both utilities do not
run on Win 2000, is there a comparable utility for Windows
2000 where I can run and replace the Msvcrt.dll and the
Msvcirt.dll?

Thanks!
 
Hi, Toan.

SFC will run fine on Win2K, and is included in the package. Msconfig.exe is
not included with Win2K, but the WinXP version will run on Win2K.

Did you reinstall Encarta or Streets & Trips after installing Win2K?
Because Win2K is built on the NT platform, there is almost no chance that
Win9x/ME .dll files will work with it. Most programs "migrate" successfully
during the "upgrade" process, but sometimes the migration is not perfect.
You may need to install each program again to let it install the proper
versions of all its files.

A Google search for "msvcrt + 2000" on the support.microsoft.com site got
about 175 hits. Since I don't know which program you are having trouble
with (Encarta, Bookshelf, FrontPage), I'm not sure which one will help you,
but you might want to start here:

Post back with more details if you need more help.

RC,

I ran the SFC under the cmd Prompt as SFC /SCANNOW and It
detected the bad version of files and asked my to insert
the win 2k CD to replace the bad version, but after I
did... It says that the CD is the wrong version???..

I wil try the link below : http://support.microsoft.com/?
kbid=305601 and see if I can get any further.

When I try to my oracle enterprise mgr tools or my
powerbuilder tools I get the msvcrt.dll : ??_u@yapaxi@z
error.

Thanks!

RC,
I selected windows update and upgraded to service pack 4,
the problem has been fixed!!!! The msvcrt.dll will be
replaced after your PC restarts. This is a much easier fix
than the parallel install resolution you guys provided for
win NT.
Thanks!
 
Hi, Toan.

Thanks for the report. It may help others with a similar problem. In a
newsgroup, we all learn from each other.

Who are "you guys"? Most of us here are just users, like you. Some of us
know one thing, others know something else, and by pooling our knowledge, we
all help each other. Some of us have been on the learning curve longer and
spend more time here trying to help. Microsoft has awarded some of us the
MVP title, but that does not mean that we provided the "parallel install
resolution". We don't speak for MS and we don't get a paycheck. (For
details, see Frequently asked Questions about the Microsoft MVP Program,
http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;mvpfaqs)

But we're always glad to help. ;<)
