The procedure entry point GetIUMS could not be located

[dozevo]

I appreciate your advice, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be cutting it for me. I got a little further in the installation but I seem to have gotten stuck "registering components" with 13 minutes left. I still have the error message that you mention below up on the screen. Any additional help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

i got stuck at exactly that same point, so i took the advice of hitting the OK a zillion times. Sometimes it disappeared for a second or two but came back, but i persisted and it eventually disappeared and continued downloading. just stick to it. doz

Well, I have read all of these post. Still confused a bit. The only time I am getting this error is when Im using AOL email and trying to insert a picture from the email menu. I got it once when loading Real Player but that's it.
I would really like to know whats causing it and how to fix it. Not sure, what if anything, AOL has to do with windows sp1, Windows media player ect.
Why am I only getting that message in AOL?

Will the f10 trick apply with this program?

Yes folks I'm confused. Help me please.
Have a great day all.

Peace

So welcome to windrivers forums cozmicrain.

(I requoted so I could read the white bit ! which is now on a white bit & thus totally illegable - don't use white text )

Whats hapening is that the message results from an invalid function call to MSdart.dll which is a MDAC component (MDAC is short for Microsoft Data Access Components which is a set of drivers that 'whatever' needs for database communication - so anywhere we have 'one of them' {any shape or form of data collection may be a database} we can get these errors) -so you can get 'em with windows setup, or 'wherever the hell' !

So Third party products sometimes overwrite this file & cause problems but also some M$ stuff manages to fubar it too ! Billy seems to have finally recognised he has version control issues with this component & is 'on the case' ..

MDAC version checker @M$

Download MDAC 2.6 SP2 here: @M$

This 'fix' though is no damn good mid repair - but it may sort you out

Yes i waited about 15 -30 minutes and nothing happened. I then hit constatnly for about 3-4 minutes and it went away.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Had this same problem updating a friend’s laptop to SP2. The top of the box said "migrate.exe entry point not found" with the error message "The procedure entry point GetIUMS could not be located in the dynamic link library msdart.dll" waited about 2 hours and the box never went a way and tried clicking it several hundred times with no effect. I got it to go away and finish installing SP2 by opening Windows media player 9.

Apparently she had never used WMP9 before, because it came up with the welcome/setup screen when I clicked on it. After setting up WMP the box disappeared for a few seconds came back, I clicked on it about 4 or 5 times and it went away for good and SP2 finished installing.
