ADVAPI32.DLL 05-08-98 or newer
ADVAPI32.DLL is a member of the base Win32 API. It quite possibly is
illegal to just email you a copy. Further, being a member of the Win32 API,
it might nuke your system if you installed the wrong version (Like the NT
version on a 95 box; I don't know for certain, though). If you want the
latest version, you're best bet is probably to download the latest Service
Pack from Microsoft for your OS. My Win95B copy of that file has a product
name including MS Plus!, so you could probably also get it from Plus!.
Doing a binary examination of the file, I see a bunch of Functions called
Crypt*. I'm not sure, but if this is a file containing part (or all) of
Microsoft's Crypto API, then you could probably also get this file from
Internet Explorer and anything else that Microsoft uses that requires the
Crypto API. Of course, there is also the possibility that those functions
are just base OS functions for hashing and saving Windows Passwords, in
which case IE probably won't include it.
