Joe,

Pure SWAG here. First, from the context of your post, I assume that you're attempting to use the function to install dlls that are currently in use. Is this correct? Is the target directory the system directory under Win2K? If so, it may be that Win2K is preventing this. If your application requires a specific version of a DLL, it should be implemented as a side-by-side DLL and located in a directory on the application's search path. I don't have anything other than this.
