You use them when you want to create an installation program using the
Windows Installer. The .msm are merge files that you add to your
installer to automatically add support for installing and registering
the Dolphin runtime files. I've used them with Microsoft Visual
Installer (Free for users of VC 6,etc) and they work fine.

The Dolphin plugin resides in a DLL, NPDolphin.DLL. Within this are several
COM objects and these must be registered on the local machine to include
details about the interfaces available in the system registry. This
registration process normally takes place automatically during installation
but sometimes, for a variety of reasons, it may fail. The usual cause for
failure is when trying to install on an older version of Windows, or at
least one that does not have all the latest DLLs. It is also possible to
manually register the plug-in after the installation process has finished so
I suggest you do the following:

1) Check you have the minimum system requirements for Dolphin. You need
Win9x,ME,NT4 SP3, 2000 with Internet Explorer 4 or later. My suggestion
would be to install IE5.5 since you'll get a lot of the latest DLLs that
way.

2) Try the plug-in installation a second time after rebooting the machine.
The plug-in makes use of the MS C Runtime library DLL (MSVCRT, MSVCIRT) and
requires that these are at version 6 or later. The setup file includes the
appropriate versions of these DLLs but sometimes the old ones are in use and
cannot be replaced at the time of installation so the registration process
fails. After a reboot the new DLLs are loaded so a subsequent attempt at
installation should be able to register the plug-in.

3) If this doesn't work try registering NPDolphin manually. Open a command
prompt and change to the directory where NPDolphin has been installed. Then
run:

regsvr32 npdolphin.dll

This will tell you if it succeeds. You may have find regsvr32.exe on your
machine (I think it is normally in Windows\System).

4) If this doesn't work we need to find out what is preventing NPDolphin
from loading. A good way to do this is to use a utility called DEPENDS.EXE.
This will tell you if there are any prerequisite DLLs missing from your
system. If you don't already have the dependency walker utility then you can
download it at:

Also I am using win98 IE 5.5 sp1
and I did the installation on a freshly installed machine
after re-downloading dolphin following your note on change of reg. key

Although I do not recall correctly, i did not run into when I tried to
install
the first time with the original dolphin d/l. but that could be because
msvcp60.dll could be hanging around in my system

Downloaded VCredistsetup_enu.exe, installed and then re-installed
dolphinieplugin. It installed

Thanks and regards
