839.0. "Cannot load or find external library" by TAV02::GODOVNIK (Haim Godovnik) Mon Apr 07 1997 09:24


Hi,

Client - Windows 95, ACMSDI 2.2, Pathworks 1.0 for Windows 95 (DECNET).

When running a Gupta application they are getting an error :

   Cannot load or find external library (or one of its componnents)

The library that is highlighted : ACMSDI.DLL which was renamed from ACMSDIDN.DLL
They are giving the full path of this library to the application.

Any ideas what could cause this error?


Thanks,

Haim G.

    Haim,
    
    One of the things that has caused this message previously is the
    absence of the di_cnv.dll which is needed by the V2.2 acmsdi.dll.
    Might try just putting both DLLs in the working directory or in one
    of the directories named in the path to see if Windows can find them.
    If that is what the problem is, you will find the di_cnv.dll in the
    same directory as where the acmsdiDN.dll was unzipped.

Tom,


All the libraries You have mentioned are in the same directory and in the path.
Their application is 16 bit. Is the standard win95.exe that comes with ACMSDI
2.2 16 bit or 32 bit. Where are the 16 bit dll's?

Thanks,

Haim G.

    Haim,
    
    The win95.exe images are 32 bit, if you are running a 16 bit
    application you do need to use 16 bit DLLs all the way down.
    There are on the server in acmsdi$msdos::msdos.exe. It contains
    a bunch of .LIBs and .OBJs that you will not need so it might be 
    good to unzip it in a temp directory and just copy over into
    a working directory the .DLLs that you do need - di_cnv.dll and
    acmsdiDN.dll.
