"SALSA Delayed Renamer was unable to update the file 'msvcrt.dll' (or mfc42.dll). The file was incorrigibly in use"

Problem: After upgrading Bear Access i get this message::

"SALSA Delayed Renamer was unable to update the file 'msvcrt.dll' (or mfc42.dll). The file was incorrigibly in use."

Solution: There are two solutions for this problem. The first and easiest is to rename "vcsrenam.ini" to "wininit.ini". The second is to delete "vcsrenam.ini" from the Windows directory and then download and run the Kerberos installer. The third is to delete the mfc42.dll and msvcrt.dll files.

First solution:

  1. Goto C:\Windows\ and look for the file named "vcsrenam.ini"
  2. Open the file using notepad.
  3. Goto File | Save As and save the file as "wininit.ini".
  4. Delete the original file (vcsrenam.ini) by right click | delete.

Second Option

  1. Goto C:\Windows and look for the file "vcsrenam.ini"
  2. Right Click | Delete.
  3. Goto the CIT website and download the Kerberos installer and reinstall.

Third solution:

  1. Reboot the computer and tap the F8 key whil the computer is starting up.
  2. Boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
  3. Navigate to c:\windows\system32 (or c:\winnt\system32 for Win2K machines), by typing chdir c:\windows\system32 and hitting enter.
  4. Delete msvcrt.dll and mfc42.dll by typing del filename.
  5. Note: this step may cause your computer to fail to boot up properly and should be used only as a means of last resort.
