Title:
TIBCO Nimbus - Error message while installing Enterprise Server Version 9.3.1 @ VM Windows Server 2008 Standard R2 SP1 - The file C:\Windows\system32\mfc42.dll could not be opened.

Description:

At the end 99% of the installation we got some error message. (The file C:\Windows\system32\mfc42.dll could not be opend)

It says we have to check access and the free space from drive space.

In the time we run installation routine we are Administrator in our Server and the free space on Drive is 19,5GB.

We exchange the data mfc42.dll in folder system32 but no effect.

We clean up our Server regestry but no effect.

We erase the mfc42.dll but no effect.

Resolution

The installer is a 32 bit application so its actually looking for mfc42.dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\.  Windows redirects calls from 32 bit applications (such as our Wise installer) so they actually load from SysWOW64.  So they need to check that folder instead.
 

If the file isn't present then this should be solvable by adding a feature of an MS download. There may be pending Windows Updates for the Server.
