Dll hell version prbblem for a COM dll developed in VC++

Hello
We have developed a COM dll in VC++ ATL. We have developed a client application in labview using Ver1.0 of our dll. And now we have changed our dll to Ver2.0 .So now when we register ver2.0 dll, the first client application which is using ver1.0 is not working. Is this because of the dll hell versioning problem. Is there any other way we can do in labview so that we can avoid this dll hell versioning problem. Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance.

I supposed your dll is a COM server registered it into the Windows registry.
In that case you need a reference to call its functions. Place an Automation Open VI, connect an automation refnum constant to the input, right click on it, select ActiveX class Browse... there you should find your objects, the COM servers.
The Automation Open's output reference can be used to the Invoke Node VIs, to call dll methods.

Reading the Interfaces name which the class is implementing in a COM dll is implementing.

Hi All,
I'm using .NET Reflection to read a COM dll. I'm able to fetch the classes that are present in the dll. But I would like to know interface name which this class is implementing.
For a .NET dll we can know the name of class's implementing interface name using the <classname>.BaseType.Name property.
How can I know the interface name which this class is implementing (if any).
Please let me know how to do this for a COM dll.
Thanks in advance,Satish
Thanks, Satish Bommideni "Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm reading the COM assembly using the methods available in oleaut32.dll.
Also I've imported the namespaces
System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes;
System.Runtime.InteropServices;
to use its respective methods and thus I'm able to read it's classes.But donot know what property to check for this class's interface.
Kindly let me know if you need any further information.

Illegal system dll relocation, contact vendor for new dll

Unable to upgrade or test Schockwave due to the following message:
illegal system DLL Relocation. The system DLL was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occurred because the DLL has occupied an address range reserved for windows system DLLS. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL.

You get this when doing what? Shockwave Player or Flash Player?
First thing I would recommend is a malware scan.

Hi,
For those who might encounter a similar problem, I manage to solve the problem by installing the DCOM Connector from the same SAP GUI CD (ver 6.2).   I had the impression to download the DCOM Connector from sap.com but they have the 4.6D version which causes a problem if you are using a higher version of SAP Gui. The rule of thumb is to install the RFC SDK and DCOM Connector from the the same SAP GUI CD.
Just note that DCOM Connector is reaching End-of-life.
Cheers,
Kelvin

ITunes version 7.7 has insecure DLL

Installed 7.7 and scanned my PC using Secunia PSI (RC3) and it found the insecure DLL. Tried to send an email to apple letting them know about the issue but got the answer detailed below.
I sent:
Your latest upgrade loaded an insecure dll.
Version Detected: 1.2.2.0
Installation Path:> C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\zlib1.dll
You need to scan your updates before sending them out! You also need another category for security issues like this.
Their Response:
I understand you downloaded the newest version of iTunes and now your computer has detected a virus. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the frustration this has caused you. My name is Miranda. I'll do everything I can to help.
I researched this issue for you. Unfortunately, your inquiry falls outside of my area of specialty.
You will require more in-depth assistance with this issue. Please call our AppleCare technical support team. A representative will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support options and can help you determine which option might be most helpful in this case. To find the appropriate phone number, please visit:
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and understanding, (my Name).
Miranda
iTunes Store Customer Support
A follow up email (far less friendly) got the exact same response. You can find the updated DLL at http://www.zlib.net/. It is version 1.2.3. I hope Apple gets it's act together on preventable security issues like this one.

I'm not sure what Keychain solution you tried without result, but I was getting the 11333 error on my Macbook after upgrading iTunes to 7.4.2, and here is what I did to fix it:
1. Open Applications folder.
2. Open Utilities folder.
3. Double click Keychain Access icon.
4. From the Keychain Access menu, select Preferences.
5. In the Preferences window on the General tab, click Reset My Keychain.
Once I had done this, the 11333 error no longer occurred. (Note that resetting the keychain is different from repairing the keychain.)

CR XI R1: viewer can't open report with UFL from COM dll

Hello all!
I faced the following problem: report which is uses functions from COM dll doesn't works on customer's pc. CRViewer throws exception when calling ViewReport() method. GetLastError() gives just 0 ...
All other reports without functions from COM DLL are working on that PC however. Moreover, reports which uses function from non-COM DLL are also working.
Versions & environment:
- Report file is designed in CR11, CR Developer; Product type: Full, Product Version: 11.0.0.895
- Runtime files on customers pc installed by .msi created from merge modules for Crystal Reports XI RDC Deployments (latest available SP4 for CR XI R1: [crxi_rdc_merge_modules.zip|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crXI_rdc_merge_modules.zip], as listed on [this|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp] page)
- target OS: WindowsXP SP3, all updates are installed
- i'm using COM crviewer, but there are some points in application where report is opened using CRPE api - it is also crashing on reports with custom functions from COM DLL
- UFL DLL is registered and loaded correctly (investigated by debug output), looks like crash occured during attemt to call function
- just for test I tried to install CR Developer on customers PC: it successfully opens all "problem" reports, but the viewer in application still crashing ...
I would appreciate any tips / suggestions. Please also let me know if I need to specify versions of other products / components.
Thx,
Andrew

Sorry, but you have to define "viewer just crashed". To different people this means different things; error, viewer never shows up, application terminates, etc., etc., etc....
If the issue is only 10% of computers then it is not
Re. "...could be caused by:"
- previous installation of CR8.5 (or earlier) runtime (how to cleanup it correctly?)
possibly - see below
- OS configuration (what we need to ajust?)
probably not - as long as it's the same OS and SPs
- something missing in our code (but why it works in 90% cases?)
-no
- something wrong with CRXI runtime (but we a using latest available MSMs, and again, this works in 90% ...)
possibly see below.
I would approach the issue by running [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] and comparing the dlls loading on a computer that works and one that "crashes"...
Your second utility is [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] but ProcMon creates large and difficult to read files.
Oh, and get the powers that be to start to consider moving away from this legacy "stuff". Like I said, PE APIs have been gone since version 9 of CR and RDC has been retired in CR XI R2 (11.5). Neither product is supported anymore.

Where to get Project dlls with version v16?

Guys, I am trying to solve one of my problems, and it comes out that Project dlls have to be the same version as SharePoint dlls.
I have downloaded project SDK 2013, but I am not able to find dlls with version 16.

Hi nicksav,
The Project Server dll's for Project Server 2013 do not have version 16 but 15.
You can find the DLL's on your Project Server 2013 machine:
Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Library
--> [Windows Folder]\Microsoft.NET\Assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Library
Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Events.Receivers

Best practice for including additional DLLs/data files with plug-in

Hi,
Let's say I'm writing a plug-in which calls code in additional DLLs, and I want to ship these DLLs as part of the plug-in. I'd like to know what is considered "best practice" in terms of whether this is ok (assuming of course that the un-installer is set up to remove them correctly), and if so, where is the best place to put the DLLs.
Is it considered ok at all to ship additional DLLs, or should I try and statically link everything?
If it's ok to ship additional DLLs, should I install them in the same folder as the plug-in DLL (e.g. the .8BF or whatever), in a subfolder of the plug-in folder or somewhere else?
(I have the same question about shipping additional files too, such as data or resource files.)
Thanks

I probably should have posed this question here before I delved into writing Java to get data for reports, but better late than never.
Our ERP is written in COBOL. We have a third party ODBC which allows us to access data using a version of SQL. I have several Java sources compiled in my database that access the data and return something relevant. The Java sources are written in a procedural style rather than taking advantage of object oriented programming with attributes and methods.
OO is a choice not a mandate. Using Java in a procedural way is certainly not ideal but given that it is existing code I would look more into whether is well written procedural code rather than looking at the lack of OO.
Now that I am becoming more comfortable with the Java language, I would greatly appreciate any feedback as to best practices for incorporating Java into my database.
My guess is that it would be helpful to model the ERP "tables" with Java classes that would have attributes, which correspond to the fields, and methods to return the attributes in an appropriate way. Does that sound reasonable? If so, is there a way to automate the task of modeling the tables? If not reasonable, what would you recommend?Normally you create a data model driven by business need. You then implement using whatever means seem expedient in terms of other business constraints to closely model that data model.
It is often the case that there is a strong correlation between data models and tables but certainly in my experience it is rare when there are not other needs driven by the data model (such as how foreign keys and link tables are implemented and used.)

How to use COM DLL in LabWindows

Hello
I have a COM .dll which looks like that when opened with dll export viewer:
I would like to use the Get4AxisPos function in LabWindows.
I understood that, as I only have the .dll, the only way of calling these functions are with the LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() functions.
My problem is that the Get4AxisPos function is not of type Exported Function but COM Method so I don't know how to use it in my LabWindows project!
My questions are: Is it possibleto use this dll in Labwindows? If yes how?
Thanks
Solved!

Hi ,
I am new to C++ and COM .
i need to implement a client application in C(lab windows CVI) , server is a c++ COM object.
steps followed by me
---> accessed the registered COM object with Labwindows CVI active x controller template,output was a c file which is implementation of the class names in COM (interfaces).
I can use majority of the functions directly from the generated, but i need to implement some event functions like message box events and then use it.
I have seen one method of accessing in C++ client sample ,
which implements Queryinterface function...takes the IID_Unknown as input and returns interface pointer(inhereted static_castof the required class, uses static_cast for that) as output.
when i try to follow up the same in c , i am lost with the inheritance concept.
In short i need to send IID Unknown to the Queryinterface function and should get the interface pointer of message box type or other class type ...
Sorry for the long mail,Please guide me
Thanks in advance ,

Errors/warnings occurred when generating the local proxy dll and VI wrappers for web service

Hello,
I'm new to web services - trying to import a WSDL that was created by an outside vendor and placed on a company server. I imported a previous version successfully. The error I'm getting doesn't make a lot of sense to me, here it is:
The following errors/warnings occurred when generating the local proxy dll and VI wrappers for this web service.
Can't generate files.
Possible reasons are:
1. The output file(s) might be read-only.
Remove the read-only attribute and import the Web service again.
2. A proxy DLL that LabVIEW created under the same file path exists in memory.
Restart LabVIEW and import the Web service again.
I don't see any read-only attributes on the output files and I've tried restarting LabVIEW - no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Al Rauch

Aaron,
I was able to successfully import and run the web services from the WSDL file in question in LV2009 on a different computer than the one on which I had the original problem. Unfortunately I am still having the original problem on the project computer and will need to get it working there . . . still looking for a solution to that. Apparently LV2009 is perfectly capable of importing and running this WSDL file, but there is something still in the way on the project PC.
Thanks,
Al

Alternatively you can use the regular Crystal Reports training resources or available books to get yourself skilled for Crystal Reports. Being able to work with Crystal Reports is 90% of the work where as the SAP Business One specific's are in the area of ....
- Release 8.8: the datasource connections; working with variables in the report; intergration and distribution of reports
- Release 2007: linking the reports into the SAP Business One menu and making them secured available to the end users.

How to call LabVIEW dll from ATL COM dll

I have tried to call simple LabVIEW 8.6 Dll from win32 test application, class Library.
I have include LabVIEW generated SharedLib.h file and SharedLib.lib file in the test application which I created as simple win32 console project and also from win32 class Library. I was sucessfully able to call my LabVIEW dll funtion.
But when I create ATL COM project and try to add SharedLib.h file and SharedLib.lib file I used to get following erors
Error 1 error C2733: second C linkage of overloaded function 'StrCatW' not allowed d:\program files\national instruments\labview 8.6\cintools\extcode.h 463

these many errors.
Will some one explain me how to call LabVIEW dll from ATL COM dll.
Thanks & Regards,
Jay

I also had this problem. My application is unicode-aware, but I was attempting to link it to a library with primitive C-string arguments. You could dynamically load the DLL as suggested (more work), modify the header files (really not recommended), or if you are feeling lucky you could try fooling the compiler, as I was successfully able to do in Visual Studio 2010, by steering the preprocessor around those functions (assuming you're not using them, of course -- otherwise this probably wouldn't work):
// prepare for NI extcode.h inclusion. avoid linker errors for this project.
#define StrCatW(a,b)     IgnoreLinkError_StrCatW(a,b);
#define StrCpyW(a,b)     IgnoreLinkError_StrCpyW(a,b);
#define StrCpyNW(a,b,c) IgnoreLinkError_StrCpyNW(a,b,c);
#define StrCmpW(a,b)     IgnoreLinkError_StrCmpW(a,b);
#define StrCmpNW(a,b,c) IgnoreLinkError_StrCmpNW(a,b,c);
// header file for my LabView-built DLL (ASCII single-byte character arguments)
#include <MyLibraryHeader.h>
// clean up afterwards, put things back to 'normal'
#undef StrCatW
#undef StrCpyW
#undef StrCpyNW
#undef StrCmpW

NSU version update fails because nossu2dm.dll was ...

On my Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) system I am running Nokia PC Suite 7.1.180.46, using it to manage two phones: N8-00 and XpressMusic 5800 (North American versions). For a month or so now, Nokia Software Updater (installed version is 3.0.495) tells me that a newer version is available, and downloads it, but installation always fails with this message:
fix2200qt.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because nossu2dm.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
OK
I found the DLL in question in the installation folder, located here: C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Software Updater\nossu2dm.dll (version 2011.32.2.228) so I really don't know what fix200qt.exe is complaining about!
Searched this forum and the internet with no reports of this with a solution except to download nossu2dm.dll from non-Nokia sites. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to resolve the problem? Nokia PC Suite is running fine, can I find a download of just NSU to re-install?
I'd really like to be able to update NSU in order to be able to install the update to N8-00 which it claims is available. Thanks.

OK, I worked out a solution by looking at where Nokia NSU stores its files...
Since fix2200qt.exe was not able to find nossu2dm.dll which was in the Program files folder for NSU, I simply copied C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia\NSU3\NOSSU2\updates\fix2200qt.exe into C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Software Updater\ and executed it from there where it was happily able to find the DLL and fix whatever it wanted to fix, and then continue to download NokiaSoftwareUpdaterSetup_EN_US.exe which launced and updated NSU to version 3.0.605
Sadly however, NSU won't update my N8 to Symbian Belle and wants me to install Nokia Suite after all this... It did however, offer a 138MB upgrade to Real Golf :-{
