Hi

I am running across this error during an installation. I have basically defined a custom action in the project which calls a dll function "getClusterInfoTwo" (defined as a the standard dll) within a dll file called xxxx.dll. I have exported the function within the xxxx.def file in my project.

Any ideas on whether I am missing something else?

Thanks!

Hello,

It sounds like you did all the right stuff (.def file for exports as opposed to relying on compiler exports, etc.)

I am sure you know this, but, maybe asking will jog something else to get you to your solution:

1. You paid attention to case when calling the function in your CA? (I know, it's stupid, but I had to ask ...)

2. I am sure you already tried this, but, did you take a look at your DLL using dependency walker or a similar tool to make sure that you are calling it correctly?

Again, these are dumb questions, but, sometimes they lead to something more useful.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Michael

Yes I did check 1. but I have not tried 2.
I have seen several posts regarding dependency walker. I have not used it b4, is that something from Macrovision as in is it used within IS?

Freeware:
http://www.dependencywalker.com/

I think it also comes with Visual Studio.
