14.5 DLL registration

On NT 4.0, we are unable to register LTRAN14N.DLL due to GDI32 incompatibility.

The first error is mfc42.dll, then msimg32.dll and finally gdi32.dll with a GradientFill address missing.

The latest version gdi32.dll is 4.0... distributed with SP 6a. Installing a 5.0 version causes system instability.

Is there a way to use the new Annotation features on NT 4.0?

Thanks,
Bill Miller

The file version is 14.5.0.006

All version 14.0 releases work ok on Windows NT. Is there a way to upgrade NT 4.0 to use this DLL?

Thank you,
Bill

Version 14.0 is able to self register on NT 4.0, although i do not believe it was referenced in our project before.

When I copy v14.5 files over, this is the only dll that cannot self register with the native NT 4.0 GDI interfaces.

Thanks,
Bill M.

Note: I registered a new version of mfc42.dll on NT 4.0 in order for registration of certain DLL's to continue.

Hello,

I have the same problem with Win98. My application works fine once it is installed in Win XP, but once installed under Win 98 as soon as I try to instatiate a LeadRasterAnn Object I get VB runtime error 429: "ActiveX can't create object". After loosing a lot of time in trying to understand if some system dll were missing or to be upgraded, I found the LTRAN14N.dll (ver. 14.5.0.010) couldn't be registred. On the contrary the version 14.0.0.1 of the same dll can be succesfully registered  also in Win 98.

I'm disappointed, because LEAD assured complete backword compatibility for 14.5 tools with application based on the previous revision 14 (including supported operative systems, and so Win 98).

I've also tried, as test, to install (and then upgrade with 14.5 patch) the complete developement toolkit and demo examples on a Win 98 system. Then I launched LEAD VB annotation demo program getting exactly the same result (error 429). This is causing me great troubles with my Win98 based customers!

Please find a solution as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Riccardo,
Thank for contacting our support email address. I will post here the result of our email discussion for the benefit of other users.
As you found out, the current version of LTRAN14N.dll needs the file MSVCP50.DLL, which doesn't exist on all Windows 98 machines.
The old LEADTOOLS setups did not include this file because the old versions of LTRAN14N.dll did not use it, but our new setups contain it.
If owners of LEADTOOLS 14.5 need the new setup but don't have download instructions, they should send their product serial number to support@LEADTOOLS.com

All Dll's have been updated to 14.5.0.10 and we are still unable to display the new Annotations Toolbar on Windows NT 4.0!

Updating msimg32.dll to the XP version requires a gdi32.dll update as well, which is, so far, incompatible with NT 4.0.

Is there an update to NT 4.0 to allow the latest LTRAN14N.dll to register?

Thanks,
Bill Miller

Hello all!  I was able to reproduce this issue on a clean NT 4.0
machine with SP6.  I have submitted this to our engineers and will
