SYMPTOMS
When you are installing Phantasmagoria, or another software title by Sierra Software, you may receive the following error message:

The file you are trying to open is already in use by another program. Quit the other program, and then try again.



CAUSE
This error message occurs because the installation program for the Sierra Software program attempts to replace the Windows Wininet.dll file with a Sierra version of the file. However, the Wininet.dll file is loaded at Windows startup and cannot be replaced.



RESOLUTION
When you receive the error message, click Cancel. The installation program continues normally, and the program should function correctly after the installation is finished.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
