Hi All,

I am using InstallShield Professional 5.3. I need to invoke "getDevicePool" function which is defined in "InstallUtil" class of the "InsightRegister" dll, from my install script "setup.rul".

I have attached the code for DLL. And below in the code snippets to invoke that function.


prototype string InsightRegister.getDevicePool(BYREF STRING, NUMBER, BYVAL STRING);

//Load DLL in the memory.
dllLoadResult = UseDLL (SUPPORTDIR ^ "InsightRegister.dll");
if (dllLoadResult != 0)
then
MessageBox ("DLL load failed.", SEVERE);
abort;
endif;

szOCSConns = getDevicePool(szHostName, 5, "InsightForOCS");


The project is building fine. But when I run the setup, it throws error :-

Failed to find DLL function : InsightRegister.getDevicePool

Any sort of help to achieve the desired result is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nayan

Sorry the version is Install shield professional 6.3, not 5.3

The problem is likely a mismatch in the function prototype, so I recommend using Microsoft's Dependency Walker to look at the DLL and confirm it.
