Hi,

I have a problem which really puzzles me.
Working with VDS 5.01 I made a program, compiled it to an EXE-file, made an installation package for it with GKsetup and installed/ran it on my own PC (with Windows XP).
Doubleclicking the EXE-file or starting via shortcuts goes okay.
Now I hear from other people that after installation on their PC the shortcut does nothing and doubleclicking direct on the EXE-file does nothing. (That's the same EXE-file that runs fine on my PC)
The installation package does install vdsrun50.dll in the SYSTEM32 folder.

Has anyone what could be wrong here?
Any help is very welcome!

hi jan,

a couple of suggestions...try placing vdsrun50.dll in the same folder that has the exe file...try placing it in the SYSTEM folder instead of SYSTEM32...make sure that you have included the correct vds5run0.dll (in other words the one for version 5.01 and not for 5.0)

I think you are distrubuting the wrong version (older one) of vdsrun50.dll with your setup. Check the version in the files you are including in gksetup.

Or, your distro file is corrupted, or the setup itself has corrupted a file.

Serge and Codescript you really hit the nail on its head............
My SYSTEM32 folder contained the correct 5.01 version of vdsrun50.dll, but my distribution library still contained the 5.0 version.
I changed my GkSetup settings to always take the version that's in my own SYSTEM32 folder instead of one in a special distribution folder.
That way I assured the latest corresponding dll always gets included.

Thanks a bunch guys for your quick and correct reply to my problem.
