problem with live update

i am trying to do live update. i d'l patches 1, 2, and 3.
but clicking install on anyone of them gets me
'DolphinSureCrypto' (16r485: One of the library files
needed to run this application cannot be found.)

i have 3 dolphinSure*.jpg files in my resource subdirectory,
but that's it. what's going on?

thanks.

i should have noted that i am doing this with default.img, which
i have backed up.

There's a DLL by that name too, which is probably the missing file.  FWIW,
it's in the system directory on the machine I'm using at the moment; but,
that could be my doing because I use non-MSI installers for my apps.  If the
file is on your machine, perhaps theres's a problem with the file locator
that's trying to find it.  The debugger might tell you something.

Have a good one,

Bill

Its looking for the DolphinSureCrypto DLL because the live update files are
digitally signed so that they cannot be tampered with. If Dolphin is not
properly installed on the machine you are trying to run LiveUpdate on, then
this error might well result. If it has been installed using the MSI then an
attempt to open the DLL should have causes the MSI subsystem to intervene
and try and repair it (I think - maybe that only works for COM objects).
Anyway to fix it locate the DLL and copy it to some location where Dolphin
will find it (e.g. the directory containing Dolphin.exe).

well, i obviously used a non-standard installer,
because reinstalling solved the problem.

thanks to bill and blair

something good will come of this.
