I've created a setup which has an ocx control as part of the files copied over. If I select the option to self-register the file, at the end of the setup I get an Ikernel illegal operation and the following error message:
Error removing support files:
the RPC server is unavailable.
This only happens in Win 98 and Me computers. Program installs fine in NT, 2000 and XP. Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks in advance.

RPC usually means a remote procedure call, but I've not done much with Win9x/Me setups.
I would suggest trying to register the OCX manually to see how that goes and to run a dependency checker such as the one that comes with MS Visual C++. By the way, you may need to temporarily turn off the self registration on that file to get all your install over.

After reviewing the code for my control, I noticed that I don't release the hook that I install during initialization. Normally, it shouldn't be required, because Windows is supposed to do it on DLL unload. But who knows what happens on Win 9x machines.
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
