formathd error upgrading from Win98SE

[Shane]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_upgrade (More info?)

I'm trying to upgrade from Win98SE to Win2k Pro and
during the initial phase where it is 'discovering' about
my system, I get an error that aborts the install. The
message is:

formathd: invalid page fault in Kernel32.dll.

This file is on the CD, but not my hard drive. No matter
how many times I repeat, it still happens.

I've tried killing everything in the Task Menu to make
sure there are no conflicts, but nothing seems to work. A
clean install of Win2k on the machine works fine, but I
want to replace Win98 with programs/config intact.

Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Email
me at taylorms@mtaonline.net

Thanks,

Stack dump:
CAUSE
This error message can occur if Quickbooks, Powerbuilder, Cabnetware, or
Oracle for Windows 95 is installed on your computer.
RESOLUTION
Quickbooks
To resolve this issue, locate the Qbconv32.dll file and rename it to
Qbconv32.dl_. If you find multiple copies of this file on the computer,
rename each copy.
Powerbuilder
To resolve this issue, locate the following files and rename them to a .dl_
extension. If you find multiple copies of these files on the computer,
rename each copy:
Pbctl050.dll
Pbstr60.dll
Pbudo050.dll
Pbfrm050.dll
Pbdse050.dll

Cabnetware
To resolve this issue, locate the following files and rename them:

L323d.dll rename to - L323d.dl_
L32cutes.dll rename to - L32cutes.dl_
L32cutl.dll rename to - L32cutl.dl_
L32cwv.dll rename to - L32cwv.dl_
L32dlg2.dll rename to - L32dlg2.dl_
L32estmt.dll rename to - L32estmt.dl_
L32lay.dll rename to - L32lay.dl_
L32mxs.dll rename to - L32mxs.dl_

Oracle for Windows 95
To resolve this issue, locate the following files in the orawin95 folder
(by default) and rename them:
NPL80.dll rename to - NPL80.dl_
NR80.dll rename to - NR80.dl_
NT80.dll rename to - NT80.dl_

If you find multiple copies of a file on the computer, rename each copy.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional.
MORE INFORMATION
You may also find the offending entry at the end of the Setupact.log log
file. The entry would look something like the following example: Warning
Modules:Access violation while checking c:\Program
Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Pro 99\QBCONV32.dll

If you are upgrading, you must rename the .dl_ file back to .dll after the
upgrade completes so the program can start working again. After the upgrade
completes, you can safely rename the file. Or you can uninstall the
offending program. This issue only happens while the readiness analyzer or
Winnt32 is running inside Windows 95 or Windows 98. After you install
Windows 2000, you can rename the file back. This does not cause any issues
and the program functions normally again.

Another cause is a dynamic-link library (DLL) file that is included with
Powerbuilder (Pbctlo50.dll). To resolve this issue, rename the file, let
Setup continue, and after Setup or the Readiness Analyzer tool finishes,
rename the file to its original name so that Powerbuilder works again.

Cabnetware (or Cabware) may also cause this problem. This is Cabinet Design
Software. Uninstalling the program resolves the issue. The readiness
analyzer has problems with the following files from Cabnetware:
L323d.dll
L32cutes.dll
L32cutl.dll
L32cwv.dll
L32dlg2.dll
L32estmt.dll
L32lay.dll
L32mxs.dll
