-Havermeyer- Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Get the above message after attempting to open the installer. Downloading latest directx as I type. But should I presume my computer is missing this kernel32.dll? I'll hunt for it as well in the meantime. Just wanna make sure this is because I'm a dork... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Hmmm... that's kind of strange. I don't think that you're missing any files and I'm not aware of the WinRAR self-extracting file calling any other .DLL's. Maybe some compression/decompression program is having a hard time when you launch this installer for some reason or another (though it is a self-extracting archive). Which version of Windows are you running ? Is there any further text after the 'kernel32.dll' portion ? You can also manually extract the files with WinRAR. If you have the disk space you may want to copy the CMBB Installer file to your hard drive and execute it there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Havermeyer- Posted September 26, 2002 Author Share Posted September 26, 2002 Thanks. Kernel and 32 looked scary to me. The word registry was mentioned and other type nasties. I'm going to reinstall the operating system and see what happens. But first I'll do the RAR thingy. Let you know how it works out. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Cool. kernel32.dll is about the most fundamental part of Windows. It cannot be missing (and you should find it in your windows\systems directory). What version of Windows? Are you trying to install the Windows version on a Mac? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YECoyote Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 if you're using Win2K or XP, may I suggest you try to install CMBB using compatitibility mode, and select WIN9X/ME. I ran into similar problem installing other applications, and the compatibility mode allowed the install to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Havermeyer- Posted September 27, 2002 Author Share Posted September 27, 2002 Running win98. Have windows problem. The RAR extract didn't work either with this other problem. Rather than reinstalling windows I believe I will give the piece the heave ho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
