Unable to Run the MonTel Client 32bit Setup on First Windows 95 Version

This topic applies to MonTel 32bit Client Version 2.3 beta onwards.

Setup.exe may not launch on certain installations of Windows 95 due to lack of support for an API in the original version of the Oleaut32.dll. This failure will not occur on OS release 2 of Windows 95 or any versions of Windows NT 4.0 and later, and will not occur if Microsoft Office 97 or Internet Explorer 3.0 or 4.0 has been installed. Any installation of a Visual Basic 5.0 application will also remedy the situation.

You can also work around this failure by first overwriting the older version of Oleaut32.dll with the latest version. Be sure to shut down all applications before attempting to manually update Oleaut32.dll. (Oleaut32.dll can be found on a machine that did successfully install - or by extracting it from the CAB files in the set up directory). Oleaut32.dll will reference other DLL. In the present version these are all found as part of the operating system.

So far MonTel testing, nor our beta testers have reported this problem. However it is included here for reference.
