How Can I Tweak Where Yahoo Mesenger Installer Looks For The Required Kernel32.dll File?
The computer I’m using stores kernel32.dll in a folder called Windows/system32, while the installer looks for it in the main Windows folder. I’m unable to move or copy the kernel32 file.

I’m afraid the answer is: You can’t. It reads whatever kernel32.dll happens to be in %WINDIR%System32 by default. That’s just how windows works.. but if you absolutely need it the C:Windows folder, then format a floppy disk and select “Make MS-DOS Boot Disk” then reboot your computer with it still inserted, and when the command prompt (A:>) comes up, type the following lines, pressing enter after each:
C:
cd windows
copy system32kernel32.dll
After that, it will say 1 file copied, do NOT delete the kernel32 in the system32 directory, it will stop windows from working. After typing the lines, simply restart your computer (ctrl+alt+del) or just power it off, and put it back on. It’s safe from the DOS prompt.
