Hi folks, hope someone can help with this one as it's got me snookered.
Installing an application called ActiveAirSource (Used for monitoring Virtual Flights in MS Flight Simulator) I received the following error: "The procedure entry point GetUserGeoID could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL".
Selected "Ignore Error" to continue with installation. When I ran the application (didn't actually expect it to even start because of install error) it produced the following error: "Component WMP.DLL or one of it's dependencies not currently registered: a file is missing or invalid."
Next I ran "unregmp2.exe /update WMP" to register WMP component. Ran the AAS application but the same WMP.DLL error was produced.
Researching WMP.DLL, it is part of Media Player 9. So, I reinstalled Media Player 9 from MS site. The install produced the same KERNEL32.DLL error as did the AAS install.
This points to a problem with KERNEL32.DLL. However, I've had no other problems with my system except these 2 application installs. To reinstall the KERNEL32.DLL is to reinstall the OS, since the component is in use by Windows, I can't overwrite using the copy command, not even when booting to Command Prompt mode. The OS is Windows 2000 Pro, SP4 and all current updates installed.
Anyone with ideas?
Regards,
Nick
