October 14, 2001 SCT3D32.DLL not correctly installed? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I'm trying to crate an application using the AppExpress feature of ProjectExpress (Project->New) in the IDDE. Once I tick the "use AppExpress" and click "finish", I get the message in a Windows called CTL3DV2: "This application uses SCT3D32.DLL, which has naot been correctly installed." This particular DLL is in the \dm\bin folder. I understood from the docs that I didn't have to worry about any installation procedure other than copying the files and setting my path environment (which I did). The IDDE gives 7.51 as version number when you click the "About" entry in Help. My current patch/version for the compiler is 8.1e. Can you give me some advice? TIA Cesar |

This does not cut in! The symptom keeps the same ;-(
Does this dll requires somo form of 'registering' like some VB controls?

Oh no! I remember being able to run the DM stuff from the CD in another machine, I'll try to figure out what may be wrong this way first...

I just tried in a win 95 no other software installed, only the OS, running from the CD, and the problem is the same...
What suprises me it that the message comes from a window which has the name "CTL3DV2". This DLL according to MIcrosoft's quickview utility is a 16 bit DLL!
Looking at APPX32.EXE be it with quickview or Serge Sorokin's ShowDep I can't find any reference (dependency) to this DLL! This is odd, isn't it?
For simple projects, AppExpress seems to generate the project, now for complex ones, it fails...
Will keep trying...

No, it is a message put out by the DLL when it detects that it is run from a dir not being the system dir. Try renaming the original in the DM\BIN directory to sct3d32.dll.old. Due to the way windows locates the dll, a simple copy won't help if the original is still loaded first. Sometimes you've gotta help windows a little........

I've always hated installation programs, which is why I try to get things to work without needing installation. sct3d32.dll is determined to thwart me <g>. |
