Problem with patch 7.1

Post by Corkman »

I try upgrade my SPWAW, but I get error message:
"irsetup.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point SetHandleContetext could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

I run Windows 2000. All others SPWAW upgrade work fine in my
system.

Any ideas?

See if you can go around the problem by using Start/Run.
Retreat is NOT an option.

Try Downloading again? also make sure you are pointing it to the correct directory - but that sounds like the file got corrupted.

Update Windows

Also try doing the Windows update (especially for any service packs SP), I searched the forum's and found a couple of posts with the kernel32.dll error during installations using Windows ME and 2000. This file is critical to the installer and those in the past ran Windows update and then the problems cleared. I'm looking for 1 specific post that I remember on this that will make it clearer, when I find it I'll link it if you haven't solved it yet.

Moro (=Hello)

I try resolve my problem and find these.

I have download patch twice without success. Download success but installing not. I Patch my Win2000 to level SP2 (ServicePack 2), but problem stay. :(

I search and find this article.

http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/tip ... 80,00.html

Article says that problem is into code witch call kernel32.dll. Mostly code has compile in different operation system.

I can't think anything more. Mayby someone can think a workaround about this problem. Matrix Games?
