Error deploying to Win 95

Steve Geringer
Hi,

I am running dolphin version 3 and was testing the deployed app on an old
version of Win 95
to see what requirements the customer would have.

during startup it put out a message:
The specified procedure could not be found (16r7F The Specified procedure
could not be found).

I found a place on the wiki which suggested i install newer versions of:
MSVCRT.DLL
MSVCIRT.DLL
MSVCP60.DLL

I did this, rebooted and got the same results.

Has anyone experienced this?  What is the fix?   which procedure is it
looking for ?

(BTW It tested fine on Win 98, I am developing on Win ME).

Since, the product is intended for consumers use i would like to ensure that
it runs out of the box.

Thanks,
Steve Geringer

Have you got IE4 or later installed on the Win95 machine - you need these
for the updated common controls I believe.

Can anyone for the Object-Arts team verify David's reply about needing
common controls ?
On the wiki it indicates IE is needed for development.  However for runtime
it does not mention it.

Also, if this is true, is there a smaller way to deliver just the needed
components instead of forcing the user
to install IE when they may be opposed to this?

Thanks,
Steve Geringer

Re: Error deploying to Win 95

I just answered my own 2 questions.

Yes...you MUST update the common controls for a deployed application
environment.
AND you can get a the patch 50comupd.exe from their website (without
installing IE)..

so although i can;t distribute this file, i can include a link to
microsoft's website for
the comctl update.

i am amazed that my application runs on a cyrix 120 mhz with 40 megabytes !!
it would probably run on an older machine ( i might just try it on my old
Pentium 75)

GO DOLPHIN SMALLTALK !!!

Steve,

I've gone so far as to run an app on a 486-100 - it's not great, but, it
does run.  Being able to do things like this is important.  On a recent
trip, I noticed that Delta Airlines was finally using a Windows interface
for their ticketing, etc..  There are still some DOS-boxed (in appearance
anyway) apps in places, but, they were actually running Windows (and as an
aside, with a pretty slick looking wallpaper).  A few questions later, I
learned that this is a very recent change, and still on-going; some sites
are still using the old systems.

The point is that entities with large installed bases are often not willing
or able to replace all of their equipment as fast as Microsoft and Intel
might like, so being able to target "old" computers is a big plus in many
situations.  Even UF's teaching hospital (of course, the hospital thinks
that UF is its university<g>) has some serious resistance to change, both on
financial grounds, as well as fear of replacing something that works with
something that might turn out to be junk.
