 Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2006 4:14 pm Post subject: VistaRC2, Bde, GDS32.dll not found |
 |
|
Hi #,
if I try to run my (installed) app from "program files", the message
"gds32.dll not found" appears.
No UAC message is showed.
If I copy the app to another directory (eg c:\test\) it runs.
What problem is this ?
Maybe a problem with virtualizaton of registry ?

Are you doing this test on your development machine, or on a different
one?
Where are the copies of gds32.dll? I think the one your app will use
should be in the SYSTEM32 folder. On mine, which is using W2K pro, it
is in C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32.
Hopefully, someone who is more familiar with this will jump in...
hth,
Dan

Hi Dan,
it is a Test (Virtual Server).
No other software on it.
The problem is, it does not run,
if my app is under Program Files.
If I put it at c: directly it works.

As I understand the way Delphi programs are made, your app sends |
commands to gds32.dll and it sends the equivalent commands to the
server, wherever it is located. Your app will look for gds32 in the
directory where the exe file is, and in the \system32 directory, as
far I know.
Try to "find" 'gds32' in the Delphi help. This will bring up much
background material. Also, search your C: drive for gds32.dll. There
may be a copy in C:\ which would explain why your app can find it
there, but not from program files.
HTH,
Dan |

Hi Dan,
with copy to C:
I of cause meant, copy the app directory to C:
so
c:\
|-MyAppDir
|- MyApp.Exe
The gds32.dll is not in my Appdir.
With
c:\
|- Program Files
|-MyAppDir
|- MyApp.Exe
it works.

Heiko,
Sorry for the delay, but I have been away for two weeks...
I don't know all the details, but one of the usual trouble spots is
the copying of files for an application. Have you tried making an
installation file for your app using InstallShield or some other
approved install tool? During the install process, you will have an
opportunity to select the install directory. I think this will
probably make things work OK.
Good Luck 
Dan

Heiko, |
I think we are going to have a long winter. My best guess is to wait
until M$ comes out with SP1. ;(
It looks like you have done all the right things. I hope you can wait
on this project until Vista gets sorted out...
