GetVersionExA Error in SMS 1.1 Network Monitor for WFW (139906)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1

This article was previously published under Q139906

SYMPTOMS

After installing the Network Monitor for Windows for Workgroups from the Systems Management Server 1.1 CD-ROM and running it, the following error message appears:
Win32s - Error, the procedure entry point "GetVersionExA" could not be located in the Dynamic Link Library "KERNEL32.dll"

CAUSE

The new call, GetVersionExA, that was implemented in Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51 is not serviced due to incompatible WIN32S .DLLs that come with the Network Monitor Installation Disks located in the NMEXT directory on the Systems Management Server 1.1 CD-ROM.

WORKAROUND

Install the older WIN32S .DLLs that support GetVersionExA (dated 7/11/95) after you have installed the Network Monitor Version from the CD-ROM.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. We will post new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
