win95 setup.exe failure with solution


I installed Windows 95 in qemu, and setup.exe failed with the following dialog.
title: Error Starting Program
text: A required .DLL file, MSVCRT.DLL, was not found.


From http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html
"The setup.exe program requires the Microsoft C Runtime Library (MSVCRT.DLL) as well as the Microsoft Common Controls Library (COMCTL32.DLL) version 4.7 or higher. These components have been included as part of Windows for many years, so in almost all cases nothing needs to be installed to run setup.exe. However, if you are using a very old version of Windows 95 without Internet Explorer installed, you will have to first install IE version 3 (or higher) before setup.exe will function."


However, my version of Windows 95 came with IE3 and it lacks MSVCRT.DLL.

The document above should be changed to read as follows.

"... However, if you are using an old version of Windows 95, you will have to first install IE version 4 (or higher), or download and install Microsoft's C runtime from the following URL. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;259403";

Cheers,

Ben
