[ActiveLock-Users]FW: HELP ME!?!?!?! Run-time Error '429'

[Carl S. <CS...@Hi...>]

Warning: inexperienced user!

After a little bit of debugging, I have determined that the error is occurring
at this line, not in the function but on this line:

  crc = CRCCheckSumTypeLib(New ActiveLock2.Globals)

I thought I had lifted the code from Example1 that was included in the
ActiveLock distribution, but it is a little different.  I've included the
function below.  My question then is why does this work on Win2K but not on
Windows 95?   Imagehlp.dll is included in the distribution and is on the target
system (Windows 95).

From the MSKB:

ileandchecksum.asp

Requirements

Client: Requires Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT Workstation,
Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95.
Server: Requires Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows NT Server.
Unicode: Implemented as Unicode and ANSI versions, except on Windows Me/98/95.
Header: Declared in Imagehlp.h.
Library: Use Imagehlp.lib.

Do I need to (somehow?) include the .lib?!?!  And what's that mean about Unicode
"except on Windows ME/98/95"?  It doesn't work for those platforms?


''
' Performs CRC checksum on the type library containing the object.
' @param obj    COM object used to determine the file path to the type library
'
Public Function CRCCheckSumTypeLib(obj As IUnknown) As Long
    Dim strDllPath As String
    strDllPath = GetTypeLibPathFromObject(obj)
    Dim HeaderSum As Long, RealSum As Long
    MapFileAndCheckSum strDllPath, HeaderSum, RealSum
    CRCCheckSumTypeLib = RealSum
End Function

And this is defined at the top of the code for the same form.

Private Declare Function MapFileAndCheckSum Lib "imagehlp" Alias
"MapFileAndCheckSumA" (ByVal FileName As String, HeaderSum As Long, CheckSum As
Long) As Long
