7. Register the necessary files in your system registry by performing the following steps:
   1. Copy REGSVR32.EXE from the \TOOLS\PSS directory of the CD-ROM to your \Windows directory.

      RegSvr32 MFC40.DLL <Enter> RegSvr32 OLEPRO32.DLL <Enter>
      
      A message box appears after each command executes confirming that the file has been successfully registered.
   3. Change to the \DAO directory. For Windows 95 and Windows 98, the location is \Program "Files\Command Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO". For Windows NT, the location is \Windows\MSAPPS\DAO. To specify a long file or directory name from the MS-DOS prompt, enclose the directory name in quotation marks as shown above. Enter the following command, and press the ENTER key:

   The 32-bit edition of Visual Basic 4.0 (\VB\VB32.EXE) now runs successfully.

Other dependency files may be required to be registered. Use RegSvr32.exe to register these files manually as you did in step 7. These dependencies are found in \vb4\setupkit\kitfil32\sw32tmpl.ini. The Register keyword specifies $(DLLSelfRegister) or $(EXESelfRegister) if the dependency requires registration.
