A third-party DLL works under OIFW 2.5 but after an upgrade to 3.4 and/or 3.5 it fails. Read the docs about the upgrade and tried placing DLL in the DLL subdirectory (originally it was in the OI root), re-declaring it, etc etc. The DLL maintains a STATUS.TXT file and is able to create it (ie, 0 bytes), but right after that it aborts. Specifically, this is the DLL from Videx for its Timewand.

Could you explain what you mean by re-declaring the DLL. Did you use DECLARE_FCNS in the Systems Editor?

Actually, I even deleted the entity and then ran declare_fcns from the system editor.

Karl,

Are there specific functions that fail or does the DLL fail to load or … ? There is a program called IsLib or IsDLL that is either in the product or I posted the source on our online discussion. Run it against the DLL name:

run IsLib "my.dll"

That will tell you if the problem is with loading. (I believe the result is "1" for success and "0" for failure.)
