SYMPTOMS

Setup was unable to create a DCOM user account in order to register C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\VS- ENT98\Vanalyzer\valec.exe.

CAUSE
This problem is caused by problems with the cryptography DLLs on Windows NT, which can be caused by applying a Service Pack to a system more than once.

RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, register the Rsabase.dll file as follows:


 * 1) Open a command prompt.
 * 2) Go to the c:\winnt\system32 directory.
 * 3) Type regsvr32 rsabase.dll to register the DLL.
 * 4) Rerun Setup.
