What is the name of the program you are trying to install?

Is it compatible with your version of Windows 95?

It seems that the function GetDiskFreeSpaceExA was only added to
Kernel32.dll in Windows 95B. The original release version of Windows
95 used GetDiskFreeSpaceA.

Open Control Panel - System - General and see what the version number
is for your Windows 95. If it says 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a then you
have the original release and the program is not going to work on your
machine. If it says 4.00.950B or 4.00.950C then you have the OSR2
(or later) version of Windows 95 and it should work.

p.s. Kernel32.dll is the 32 bit kernel or "heart and soul" of Windows.
It is an essential core component of Windows and it must be the proper
version number so as to match with the other system components. A
kernel32.dll from a later version of Windows will not work.


Good luck
