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:  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

 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.
