SYMPTOMS
Visual C++ 5.0 Setup hangs with the following message:

Updating Registry



CAUSE
A third-party provider has replaced WSock32.dll.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, perform the following steps:

 Exit Setup. Exit all applications that use WSock32.dll, typically Internet related applications.  Rename WSock32.dll to WSock32.3rd: REN WSOCK32.DLL WSOCK32.3RD On Windows 95 this file is found in %SYSTEMROOT%/SYSTEM, and on Windows NT this file is found in %SYSTEMROOT%/SYSTEM32.  Copy over WSock32.dl_ from your operating system media disk to the same directory in step 3.  Expand the file WSock32.dl_ to WSock32.dll: EXPAND WSOCK32.DL_ WSOCK32.DLL  Run Visual C++ 5.0 Setup.</li> After a successful setup you can revert back to your old third party WSock32.dll although this is not recommended.</li></ol>
