EVALUATION It seems like the patch-jre.exe patcher is creating the msvcrt.dll file even though the installer isn't installing it. I'm going to add a command to the patch.cmd file to ignore the patching of the msvcrt.dll. There is no need to patch this file because it never changes. ###@###.### 2005-03-09 17:43:56 GMT
