    GDIPLUS.DLL, Unable to locate DLL

    This is a strange error message that I get every time I start DEVPHP and actually every time I switch  between tabs. It'd start appearing as I was using it. Thare is only one change that I made before that problem occured, it was instaling the OpenOffice (could be that).

    Thanks in adbvance for your support,
    Neven Boyanov.

      Hmmm... appeared suddenly :(

      no problem with XP-sp2 + OpenOffice 2.0 + Dev-PHP 2.0.13.236 (however found one GDIPLUS.dll linked to 'powerpoint viewer')

      no problem with XP-sp2 + Dev-PHP 2.0.13.237 (however found one GDIPLUS.dll linked to 'desktop sidebar')

      no answer ; to be continued...
      Pierre.

      seems to be an error from php or from the system.
      never seen on my system...

        ... should be from the system.

        At least GdiPlus.dll might be present in directory %windows%/WinSxS (windows side by side)
        http://seclists.org/lists/bugtraq/2004/Sep/0417.html

        Dev-PHP doesn't provide it since it does not require a specific version. I found computers working correctly with Dev-PHP and GdiPlus.dll from version 5.1.3092.0 to 5.1.3102.2180

        In short, it seems that this file disappeared from your system or has been remapped for an exclusive usage.

        The end ?

      I run W2K and the latest DevPHP, the OpenOffice was 2.0beta.

      I've found GDIPLUS.DLL on disk C in many places, but none in the searchable path, shown with the error message dialog.

      I will research the problem in depth, but thank for the support. I will keep you posted.

      Regards,
      Neven.

      Okay, there are some developments ...

      1. If I (re)install DevPHP, any of the last three versions, after that the application starts without any problems. After I close it and try to start it again the problem appears again.

      2. OpenOffice. Aparently there is connection between OO and the problem described above. I have removed OpenOffice from my computer and now DevPHP works fine.

      My opinion:
      The error message says that the DLL cannot be found in the "ABC" path where ABC is a list of different folders. In that list is OpenOffice  as well (actualy first in the list, after thet is ".", after that is the rest). What I've noticed is that the path mentioned by the error message is not in any of those that you can see in the environment (CmdLne: SET). Another thing is that the path in the error message includes path to the OpenOffice which inclides a spece, could be that the problem?

      I hope that helps,
      Neven.
