Reinstalling WRK May Not Re-Create a WRK Program Group

 * }

Q84912

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

-

SYMPTOMS
If the Microsoft Windows Resource Kit (WRK) for the Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 is deleted from the system (including its group and directory) and reinstalled, a WRK program group may not be recreated when it is reinstalled.

CAUSE
This problem occurs because the WRK Setup program checks for a previous WRK installation by looking for the existence of the following files in the corresponding locations:

  BMPVIEW.EXE     Specified WRK target directory TOPHOOK.DLL    \WINDOWS directory VBRUN100.DLL   \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and then \WINDOWS directory If any one of these files are found, Setup considers there to be a previous WRK installation on the machine, so it does not create a new WRK program group.

RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * 1) Delete the WRK program group.
 * 2) Delete the \WRK directory. (BMPVIEW.EXE is the only file that requires deletion.)
 * 3) Delete VBRUN100.DLL from the \WINDOWS and \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories.
 * 4) Delete TOPHOOK.DLL from the \WINDOWS directory.
 * 5) Run the Setup program for the WRK.

A program group for the WRK should be created when the installation is complete.
