While installing Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 I received a message: "vsdpl.dll was unable to register itself in the system registry". What seems to be the problem?

What operating system are you using?

In WinNT or Win2K, then are you logged in as a user with Administrative priviledges?

The only time I have seen this error is when the current user account does not have the ability to change the registry for other users. Try logging in as the local administrator or adding your domain login to the Administrators group.

Make sure that you have no other program running in the back ground, turn of screen saves, internet connection, etc. Try to isntall and see what happens.
