I don't know how W2K compares existing dll and dll to be installed,
but the bad news that msvcrt.dll in IB6 distributive is TOO OLD,
much older than msvcrt on my system (02/02/1999), but dated as
NEWER, i.e. 06/23/2000.
Seems that W2K thinking that it is a newer file and installs it over
existing.

I suggest to delete msvcrt.dll from IB 6 distributive and replace it
by the same named file from \SYSTEM32.
