On Windows XP, everything works fine. I'm now moving to Windows 7, I've installed Object Rexx 4.0.0, Rexx programs work fine, but any attempt to use a macro from the editor reports Error Loading REXX.DLL What do I need to set to make this work, please? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Geoff Butler (geoffbutler) Date: 2010-12-06 02:45 Message: Thanks, that was exactly it. Everything works! Thanks again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Miesfeld (miesfeld) Date: 2010-12-05 08:58 Message: The other thing that could cause this is a mis-match between 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs, if you are on 64-bit Windows 7. Windows 64-bit systems support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, but a 64-bit application can not load a 32-bit DLL, and vice versa. If Blair's editor is 32-bit (likely) and you are on 64-bit Windows 7 (probable) then you need to use the 32-bit version of ooRexx. If you installed the 64-bit version, that would explain your problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Miesfeld (miesfeld) Date: 2010-10-14 08:29 Message: I don't mean to tell you something you already know, but there are many people who don't realize this on Windows 7. Even if you are an adiministrator, you don't have administrator privileges when you log on. So, unless you specifically request elevated privileges, you won't actually be running the editor as an administrator. That said, if you did specifically request administrator privileges to run the editor, and it didn't make any difference, then you are probably out of luck. Did you install rxapi as a service? On Vista and Windows 7 you will have problems if you don't. The problem is with the way the editor is loading the interpreter, and would take a fix of the editor. I know it is hard to switch editor, but you might want to try THE. I know that at least one person is running it without major problems on either Vista or Windows 7 (I think Windows 7.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Geoff Butler (geoffbutler) Date: 2010-10-14 08:09 Message: Sorry, running as an administrator made no difference. It's Blair Thompson's X, which seems to be called X2 these days. It's nowhere near up to date, though, and bringing it up to date looks like one step too far at the moment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Miesfeld (miesfeld) Date: 2010-10-14 07:52 Message: The first thing I would try would be to run the editor with elevated privileges and see if it works. The easiest way to do this, I think, is to open up a command prompt window. Right click on the icon or menu item for the command prompt and select to run as administrator. Then start the editor from that command prompt. Which editor are you talking about? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=684731&aid=3087333&group_id=119701 |
