Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Problem with Win32::GUI and PerlApp with Vista

[Jeremy W. <jez...@ho...>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. For the production build I am using PerlApp 6.0.2 - b=
ut for the testing of this issue I am using PerlApp 7.0.0 build 277058 whic=
h should have the fix that was mentioned in bug 36715. I've also tried turn=
ing DEP and messed with other Vista settings and it still fails.

I've also built Win32::GUI from the code repository. It enters the (win32 A=
PI) function GetOpenFileName and just exits, no error message, no crash. (B=
TW using the latest version of activestate perl you can just use the normal=
 makefile.pl with Mingw as it spots GCC is installed).=20

I have also found another function that causes the same problem: GetSaveFil=
eName - this is potentially more serious as the work around in using -explo=
rer =3D> 0 doesn't seem to work.=20

I have to use the  --dyndll option so will do more testing/debugging before=
 reporting the issue to Activestate.

Cheers,

jez.
