WinNT SP3 Says Mtxdm.dll Older Than Currently Installed Version

 Last reviewed: January 2, 1998
Article ID: Q169357
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you install Service Pack 3 for Windows NT 4.0, you may get the warning that the version of Mtxdm.dll is older than the currently installed version.

CAUSE

The Mtxdm.dll that comes with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 is the version that was tested with the OBDC drivers that come with the service pack. The changes made to Mtxdm.dll did not affect ODBC, and therefore the file was not updated. If you have a newer version of this DLL, you do not have to overwrite it with the older version. The new version will work fine with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3.

RESOLUTION

When the Service Pack 3 installation program asks if you want to overwrite the newer version, select NO so the file will not be overwritten.
