I've had that error before with programs compiled on VS 2005. I ran<br>
"depends" on the executable and it shows that there's a flagged<br>
dependency on IEFRAME.DLL. I've determined on some previous projects<br>
that sometimes compiling with IE7 installed makes programs not work on<br>
computers that don't have IE7 installed. For reasons, of course, that<br>
have absolutely nothing to do with web browsing.<br>
<br>
In other words, I think it might be another instance of this little dung nugget:<br>

<br>
At this point I think I can't even express my disdain for MS developer<br>
tools.</blockquote><div><br>I agree with your choice to keep things polite and civilised here and completely identify with how hard this is in this case.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Anyways, I guess it'd be best to get it compiling with MingW.<br>
In the mean time I'll try compiling it on an XP computer, since I'm at<br>
work and have access to one.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I just tried the new XP version that you posted on the forum but get the same error. As I understand the link you gave above some programs compiled under XP in this way on a computer that has IE7 (which I imagine your XP box does?) can then only run on Vista, is that correct? In that case this is at least a predictable error, which I suppose is at least of some help.<br>
<br>It's a good thing I'm a polite guy because otherwise I might be tempted to make some medical diagnosis about who-ever thought of this, something I'm not qualified to do, then sugest a method of treatment that I believe would be both unconventional and illegal.<br>
<br>I'd like to sugest we document these findings in the docs for compiling the Win version, hopefully this would avoid somebody else running into this in the future. This sounds quite ugly to me and I feel it would be better if people that are on Windows exclusively, yet not as well-versed in these matters as you are, could have a go at editing the source as well. To me large sections (the STK comes to mind) look quite readable but issues like this would take all the joy out of poking around.<br>
<br>Lots of thanks for taking the time to take this this far already,<br>Yours,<br>Kas.<br></div></div></div>
