Rick Weatherly - 2005-09-30

Installed RSS Feeder on W2k with .Net 1.1.  Application would not start, and generated an exeption with an unknown error.

Found the log file in the install directory and it was looking for RSSFeederResources.dll in c:\oracle\Ora817\bin directory.  For kicks I copied the .dll to the oracle bin directory and it fixed the problem, but I suspect that's not the best solution.  Here is the output of the exception that was in the RSSFeeder.log file:
