This:
"This application has failed to start because netdtect.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. "
Machines affected: Dell Dimension 4300s and Dell Dimension 2200 or any workstation with Davicom dm9 series of network adapters.
This outdated driver made a call to the Windows DLL, netdtect.dll ? even though it doesn?t exist in WinXP (it existed in W2K).
If a user installs this driver, the user will get periodic errors during network activity (in our internal case, when he tried to install WinXP SP1 Beta over his VPN connection, but this is not the only case when it will occur).
Users affected by this, need to download the newer Davicom driver (when it is released) ? the version must be greater than 1.38.01.1203. Those installing WinXP SP1 in a few days, will not have the option of downloading this driver since it will be removed from Windows Update within a few days (by 8/18/02). It will re-appear on Windows Update when the newer driver is released.
There is no workaround at present since there is no driver to roll back to. Users should be able to continue setup.
