Distribution Kit from windows 2000 does not work for Windows ME

When I create a distribution kit on Windows 2000 OS machine and then install it on a Windows ME OS machine, I get an error saying the correct DLLs are missing. I am using the Windows SDK for several functions. The installer automatically includes the following DLLs:

iphlpapi.dll
wininet.dll
ws2_32.dll

All of these DLLs are coming from the WINNT/system32 folder. My concern is that the installer is including the DLLs that seem to be Windows 2000 specific and will not work on an ME machine.

Should these DLLs already be in the OS and not required in the installer? Are these DLLs for Windows 2000 only and cannot be used for other OSs?

Hello

When using the SDK functions, it usually describes at the bottom which OS the function will work on. If it already says that it is supported on that OS, then you should try not moving over the dll from your system to the other machine.
And also, it looks like these dll's are already present on the ME system, so copying them over might mess something up.

I hope this helps
