SYMPTOMS

While the message, "Setup is searching for installed components" is displayed during Visual Studio Setup, the following error message appears:
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
When you click Details, this message appears:
ACMSetup caused an Invalid Page Fault in module kernel32.dll.

CAUSE

This problem can occur for a variety of reasons, but it mainly occurs in two scenarios:
  • An Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) component is in use.
  • Mismatched ODBC files or dependencies were placed on your computer by an installation program.

RESOLUTION

If the file is in use, restarting your computer and running Setup again will result in a successful installation.


If restarting your computer does not resolve the error, two possible fixes are available:
  1. First, update the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) to version 2.1 Service Pack 1.

    For x86 computers, go to

    http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/uda/mdac21/mdac_typ21.asp.

    For Alpha, see:

    http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/uda/mdac21/mdac_typa21.asp.

    For more information on MDAC 2.1, please see the following Web page:

    http://msdnprod/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmdac/html/data_mdacinstall.asp

  2. If updating MDAC does not resolve the error, then copy the following files to C:\Temp (where C:\ is your system drive). Next, copy the same files in D:\OS\System from Disk 1 of the Visual Studio CD (where D:\ is your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive) to C:\Windows\System. Choose to overwrite the files if prompted.

    Ds16gt.dll
    Ds32gt.dll
    Mtxdm.dll
    Odbc16gt.dll
    Odbc32.dll
    Odbc32gt.dll
    Odbcad32.exe
    Odbccp32.cpl
    Odbccp32.dll
    Odbccr32.dll
    Odbccu32.dll
    Odbcint.dll
    Odbctrac.dll
    Odbcinst.hlp
    Odbcinst.cnt
    Odbccp32.cpl
    Mfc42.dll
    Msvcrt.dll

    After copying the files, restart Windows and run Setup again.
