Hi,

I'm having an issue with a compiled script running on WinME. Every time it runs I get a dialog box saying "This API was not located in the specified DLL!".

The vdsrun40.dll has been included by using Alloy.

Hi and welcome!

Have you tried without packaging it with Alloy?

Not yet. I think it may have been an issue around where alloy unpacked the dll.

I think a more pertinent question is can I distribute an exe with everthing included (without the need to have the dll installed). We have a requirement to send our clients a small utility to delete reg entries and delete some files installed by our java app. Thsi needs to be a single exe and not require clients to install anything.

Previously we just had a batch file but that caused issues as clients have NT / Win98 / WinME / Win2k / XP etc.

I was hoping DialogScript could provide a better answer.

When you use Alloy to include the vdsrun40.dll you need to tell Alloy to unpack it to the system directory.

You can distribute an exe but the vdsrun40.dll must be on the system that will run the application for your application to work.
I use Alloy to distribute my applications with the vdsrun40.dll on varied systems (95/98/98SE/2000/ME/NT/XP).
