build .19 still beta
Moderators: fgagnon, nikos, Site Mods
now i see that the problem is more deap seated that i thought... switching to VS2003 messed up a lot of things, so people with older OS or missing MSVCR71.dll will have problems. SOrry about this, I'm looking for a solution and will release a new beta tomorrow
ps does anybody know how i can convince VS2003 to drop the link to UxTheme.dll? (must be from the C runtime somewhere)

I am launching the GUI from launch bar (I am not using a command line). I also checked the properties of the x2 icon in the launch bar. It has only the path of the x2 executable. There is no /N switch.
Yet I am having this issue with v18 (because i cannot install v19 at all)
So how do I get rid of this phantom /N switch which butts in unasked?

Solved the installation issue (x2 WAS running unnoticed after all)

Noone has dropped '98 support in 2003. More likely something wasn't properly imported during vs6 -> 2003 transition.nikos wrote:people still using win98? and i thought I was the laggard
anyway now i get it, i switched to VS 2003 compilers and i guess they dropped windows 98, so here it is again, it should work
I'm using Xplorer2 - the only file manager that does not suck. Actually, it rocks!
Project Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional dependencies: uxtheme.lib must be there.nikos wrote:ps does anybody know how i can convince VS2003 to drop the link to UxTheme.dll? (must be from the C runtime somewhere)
Project Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Delay Loaded DLLs: uxtheme.dll must be there.
Make sure that you're not calling any of UXTheme APIs on non-Windows XP OSes, so delay load won't be triggered.
MSVCR71.dll is trickier. Start with Project Properties -> General, make sure Use of MFC is set to Use MFC in a Static Library. Usually this helps. Also it makes sense to install a clean OS copy in VM, compile your project and run Dependency Walker in clean VM OS -- in this way it will barf at you if something unusual linked.

adding automatic (needless) dependency on uxtheme throws both win98 and 2000 out of the window, no? I'll try your recommendation for delay loading.Noone has dropped '98 support in 2003. More likely something wasn't properly imported during vs6 -> 2003 transition.
btw i haven't switched to vs2003, i just use its compilers for some devious plot i have in mind :twisted:
ps my bad, it's WTL's fault for uxtheme! (in conjunction with VS2003)
Well, since you're able to turn this dependency off with a simple compiler switch, I don't see a problem. The problem could start if you decide to switch to VC++ 2005, which is much more strict in terms of C++ than any of previous VC++ versions.nikos wrote:adding automatic (needless) dependency on uxtheme throws both win98 and 2000 out of the window, no?Noone has dropped '98 support in 2003.

I think you should just go with VS2005+ and start using modern stuff for your software.nikos wrote:btw i haven't switched to vs2003, i just use its compilers for some devious plot i have in mind :twisted:
PS.
I also believe that you should drop '98 and 2000 support altogether (maybe 2000 may stay, but '98 must definitely go).

no worries, i'm sure x2 still runs on win95 although i don't have one to test myself. So has anyone tried the new build .20?
