Has anyone faced problems using VA with a Lotus Notes based tool in Windows 7?

Hello everybody

In the project I work for we use VisualAge with a tool called Smallcycle to handle product versions used for code packaging. This tool uses a Notes database to store product information, it's really old and we can't find anyone maintaining it currently.

The company recently migrated workstations to Windows 7 and then this tool stopped working because it fails to initialize using notes dll, has anyone encountered a similar problem either with this same tool or any other that depended on Notes?

Thanks in advance

Mariana

Re: Has anyone faced problems using VA with a Lotus Notes based tool with 64 bits machines?

Correction, the cause wasn't Windows 7 but changing to 64 bits workstations

Look in the Windows Event Viewer for recent Application errors from the SideBySide source. (You can easily create a custom view to facilitate this.)
It is possible the switch to 64-bit has left you missing a 32-bit DLL.

The log entries are pretty cryptic still, but better than the regular "it didn't work" messages.

Here is an example when one of my DLLs would not load. It turned out that it was using a debug DLL which needed a manifest file that wasn't present.

Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Instantiations\VA Smalltalk\8.5.2\bin\libgcirpc-3.1.0.5-32.dll".
