----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-2069044225_-_- Content-type: text/plain I just learned that the 'BlackBox' directory that is used for searching for dlls is actually the "Start in:" directory specified in a shortcut. Hence if you specify "Start in: myDirectory" but put the dll in "... /Use ...\BlackBox" then your code will not find the dll even though it looks like you have met the requirements " The following search strategy is used: - BlackBox directory - Windows\System directory - Windows directory " The BB documentation needs to be changed to account for "Start In:". -Doug Danforth ---- To unsubscribe, send a message with body "SIGNOFF BLACKBOX" to LISTSERV{([at]})nowhere.xy ----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-2069044225_-_- Content-type: application/rtf Content-transfer-encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="rtf-body.rtf" e1xydGYxXGFuc2lcYW5zaWNwZzEyNTJcZnJvbWh0bWwxIFxkZWZmMHtcZm9udHRibA0Ke1xmMFxm c3dpc3MgQXJpYWw7fQ0Ke1xmMVxmbW9kZXJuIENvdXJpZXIgTmV3O30NCntcZjJcZm5pbFxmY2hh cnNldDIgU3ltYm9sO30NCntcZjNcZm1vZGVyblxmY2hhcnNldDAgQ291cmllciBOZXc7fX0NCntc Y29sb3J0YmxccmVkMFxncmVlbjBcYmx1ZTA7XHJlZDBcZ3JlZW4wXGJsdWUyNTU7fQ0KXHVjMVxw YXJkXHBsYWluXGRlZnRhYjM2MCBcZjBcZnMyNCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMjQzIDwhRE9DVFlQRSBo dG1sIFBVQkxJQyAiLS8vVzNDLy9EVEQgSFRNTCA0LjAxIFRyYW5zaXRpb25hbC8vRU4iPn0NCntc KlxodG1sdGFnMyBccGFyIH0NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTkgPGh0bWw+fQ0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWcyIFxw YXIgfQ0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWczNCA8aGVhZD59DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzEgXHBhciB9DQp7XCpcaHRt bHRhZzQxIDwvaGVhZD59DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzIgXHBhciB9DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzUwIDxib2R5 IGJnY29sb3I9IiNmZmZmZmYiIHRleHQ9IiMwMDAwMDAiPn1caHRtbHJ0ZiBcdmlld2tpbmQ1DQp7 XCpcYmFja2dyb3VuZCB7XHNocHtcKlxzaHBpbnN0e1xzcHtcc24gZmlsbENvbG9yfXtcc3YgMTY3 NzcyMTV9fXtcc3B7XHNuIGZGaWxsZWR9e1xzdiAxfX19fX1caHRtbHJ0ZjAgDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRh ZzAgXHBhciB9e1wqXGh0bWx0YWc2NH1caHRtbHJ0ZiB7XGh0bWxydGYwIEkganVzdCBsZWFybmVk IHRoYXQgdGhlICdCbGFja0JveCcgZGlyZWN0b3J5IHRoYXQgaXMgdXNlZCBmb3Igc2VhcmNoaW5n DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzExNiA8YnI+fVxodG1scnRmIFxsaW5lDQpcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgDQp7XCpcaHRt bHRhZzQgXHBhciB9Zm9yIGRsbHMgaXMgYWN0dWFsbHkgdGhlICJTdGFydCBpbjoiIGRpcmVjdG9y eSBzcGVjaWZpZWQgaW4gYSBzaG9ydGN1dC4NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTE2IDxicj59XGh0bWxydGYg XGxpbmUNClxodG1scnRmMCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH1IZW5jZSBpZiB5b3Ugc3BlY2lm eSAiU3RhcnQgaW46IG15RGlyZWN0b3J5IiBidXQgcHV0IHRoZSBkbGwgaW4NCntcKlxodG1sdGFn MTE2IDxicj59XGh0bWxydGYgXGxpbmUNClxodG1scnRmMCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH0i Li4uIC9Vc2UgLi4uXFxCbGFja0JveCIgdGhlbiB5b3VyIGNvZGUgd2lsbCBub3QgZmluZCB0aGUg ZGxsIGV2ZW4NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTE2IDxicj59XGh0bWxydGYgXGxpbmUNClxodG1scnRmMCAN CntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH10aG91Z2ggaXQgbG9va3MgbGlrZSB5b3UgaGF2ZSBtZXQgdGhl IHJlcXVpcmVtZW50cw0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWcxMTYgPGJyPn1caHRtbHJ0ZiBcbGluZQ0KXGh0bWxy dGYwIA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIgfQ0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWcxMTYgPGJyPn1caHRtbHJ0ZiBc bGluZQ0KXGh0bWxydGYwIA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIgfSIgVGhlIGZvbGxvd2luZyBzZWFy Y2ggc3RyYXRlZ3kgaXMgdXNlZDoNCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTE2IDxicj59XGh0bWxydGYgXGxpbmUN ClxodG1scnRmMCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH0NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTE2IDxicj59XGh0 bWxydGYgXGxpbmUNClxodG1scnRmMCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH0tIEJsYWNrQm94IGRp cmVjdG9yeQ0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWcxMTYgPGJyPn1caHRtbHJ0ZiBcbGluZQ0KXGh0bWxydGYwIA0K e1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIgfS0gV2luZG93c1xcU3lzdGVtIGRpcmVjdG9yeQ0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0 YWcxMTYgPGJyPn1caHRtbHJ0ZiBcbGluZQ0KXGh0bWxydGYwIA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIg fS0gV2luZG93cyBkaXJlY3RvcnkNCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTE2IDxicj59XGh0bWxydGYgXGxpbmUN ClxodG1scnRmMCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH0iDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzExNiA8YnI+fVxo dG1scnRmIFxsaW5lDQpcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzQgXHBhciB9DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRh ZzExNiA8YnI+fVxodG1scnRmIFxsaW5lDQpcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzQgXHBhciB9 VGhlIEJCIGRvY3VtZW50YXRpb24gbmVlZHMgdG8gYmUgY2hhbmdlZCB0byBhY2NvdW50IGZvciAi U3RhcnQgSW46Ii4NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTE2IDxicj59XGh0bWxydGYgXGxpbmUNClxodG1scnRm MCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH0NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTE2IDxicj59XGh0bWxydGYgXGxp bmUNClxodG1scnRmMCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH0NCntcKlxodG1sdGFnMTE2IDxicj59 XGh0bWxydGYgXGxpbmUNClxodG1scnRmMCANCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH0tRG91ZyBEYW5m b3J0aA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWcxMTYgPGJyPn1caHRtbHJ0ZiBcbGluZQ0KXGh0bWxydGYwIA0Ke1wq XGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIgfQ0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWcxMTYgPGJyPn1caHRtbHJ0ZiBcbGluZQ0KXGh0 bWxydGYwIA0Ke1wqXGh0bWx0YWc0IFxwYXIgfXtcKlxodG1sdGFnNzJ9XGh0bWxydGZccGFyfVxo dG1scnRmMA0KDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzU4IDwvYm9keT59DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzIgXHBhciB9DQp7 XCpcaHRtbHRhZzI3IDwvaHRtbD59DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzMgXHBhciB9DQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzY0 IDxwPn1caHRtbHJ0ZiBccGFyDQpcaHRtbHJ0ZjAgXGh0bWxydGYge1xodG1scnRmMCANCntcKlxo dG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH0tLS0tDQp7XCpcaHRtbHRhZzQgXHBhciB9XGh0bWxydGYgIFxodG1scnRm MCBUbyB1bnN1YnNjcmliZSwgc2VuZCBhIG1lc3NhZ2Ugd2l0aCBib2R5ICJTSUdOT0ZGIEJMQUNL Qk9YIiB0byBMSVNUU0VSVkBMSVNUUy5PQkVST04uQ0gNCntcKlxodG1sdGFnNCBccGFyIH1caHRt bHJ0ZiAgXGh0bWxydGYwIFxodG1scnRmfX0AAAAAAAAAACEAAADgaH4= ----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-2069044225_-_--- Received on Sun Jan 03 2010 - 06:38:47 UTC
