RE: New Era Installation/Setup Problems

Hi Cathy & Gregory, I use Newera 3.11 on NT4 sp3. I've never had a problem installing Newera once the "act-as-os" thing was set. But recently, my SE repository stopped working with the same error. As some shareware software was recently installed on the machine, I thought that the version of some C or NT runtime libs was changed? Have you re-installed MSVC 5?
