When installing Microsoft Run-Time Components on Win2K Pro, you might
receive the following error message:
 
   Error:  System Update Error. The following system components could
   not be updated on your system:  MS Run-Time Components.
 
If you receive this error message, check the following items:
 
1. Are there any anti-virus programs running in the background?
   If there are, disable these and try again.
2. Are there any other applications open?
   If so, close those applications and try again.
3. What service pack is on this machine?
   To find out, type winver at a DOS command prompt or at the Start/Run
   line. You might want to go to Microsoft's web site to see what the
   latest Service Pack upgrade recommendations are.
4. Is this the original SAS media?
   If not, get the original SAS media and try again.
5. Get the original SAS Installation Setup disk.
   Go to the SRW\bundles\vcredist directory, and run setup.exe.
6. Go to this Microsoft web link and download the latest run-time
   components:
 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads
 
7. Make sure you have rebooted your machine.
 
If you still have problems:
Because these are Microsoft's run-time components and something
is preventing them from installing, you need to go to the Microsoft
website with the exact message that you are receiving and search
for them.
 
Installing SP2 has helped resolve this problem for some users.
