If memory serves me its a windows file and because windows is running, its
caused it to be in use, try booting into safe mode and running the patch
from there, or fixing the dll, if not you may have to replace the dll from
in dos, not a dos prompt in windows, but from dos itself

My PSP has lost a few of it's common functions.  Went to PSP trouble
shooting & found the answer was in a simple remove a file & download a
patch.  Two hours on line downloading this patch and the install was aborted
with this message:
>
> file C:windows\system\msvcp60.dll is in use & cannot be installed.  Please
exit all other applications & retry.

> Well nothing to my knowledge was running but I used EndItAll & tried
again.  Of course I got the same message.  It was suggested that I needed to
replace the dll.
> Went on line, found the dll, went to put it in, still EndItAll was active,
and this is the message I received: The process cannot access the file
because it is being used by another process cannot create
c:\windows\system\msvcp60.dll

how can I install this dll?
