5 Windows Vista Support - ID: 1595040

Last Update: Comment added ( vladr )

Details:

I would like to ask if there will be a development of
VDMSound for Windows Vista (32-bit).

I am currently beta-testing this o/s and have found
that, although VDMSound seems to install correctly,
with full shell integration, whenever I try and run a
game using the "run with vdms" option, I get an error
telling me that it can't find the file vddloader.dll.
This file is present but for some reason cannot be
seen by vdmsound.

Date: 2007-11-27 02:06 Sender: vladr Probably has to do with Vista's improved security and/or support of short file names (I don't remember how this worked.) But VDMSPATH should be set IIRC, and should possibly be a valid 8.3 (short) file name version i.e. C:\PROGRA~1\VDMSOUND, not C:\Program Files\VDMSOUND (not sure about that last one tho'.)

While the application reports that the DLL cannot be found, it is likely that Vista finds but just does not load it and reports an error that is misinterpreted by the application. You should try to tell Vista somehow to accept this dll.

Date: 2007-01-02 07:37 Sender: vladr Check that the VDMSPath environment variable is properly set, that's where the DLL is normally searched for.
