Newly compiled and linked SW will not run on Windows 2000

This is occurring after installing under Windows 2000.

Under Windows 10, I downloaded the latest version, rebuilt the SW from scratch, and created my standard SETUP file just like always. However, now, I get an error that the procedure entry point GetModuleHandleExA cannot be found in KERNEL32.DLL.

Under Windows 10 on the development computer, this runs fine. I don't have another computer that is 'pristine' on which to try this.

I'm wondering if I'm missing including some DLL(s). In the SETUP process, I include, from the ./redist folder, salflibc.dll and Salford.VisualClearWin.dll.

Thanks, Bill

GetModuleHandleEx is not provided under Windows 2000. If you search the Internet then you may be able to find a work-around.

Thanks, Paul!

Just so we are clear.

Compiling and linking with V8.00 started this problem (just tested that on Windows 2K); compiling and linking with V7.2 did not have this problem.

There must be something different in how V8 and V7 start up to cause this. I have searched my code, and I don't have any calls to GetModuleHandleExA. It must be in the Salford startup (because my code never starts!)

I have checked this out. There is a change in salflibc.dll that can be fixed. Please let me know if this is critical for you. I should be able to provide a new salflibc.dll after the impending release.

Thanks, Paul. That is a very generous offer.

I have contacted my users to see what platform they are using, specifically Windows 2000. I should know for sure in a few days, at least by Monday evening (27 June).

I have had a couple of them move off of old platforms specifically to use the newer product made possible by FTN95. So I am encouraged that they will all say this is not an issue.

I'll post a reply here on Monday evening (UTC-6) and confirm.

Thank you for your willingness to accommodate!

Having heard nothing from the users, I think it's safe to let this sleeping dog lie.

I firmly believe that they should ALL have updated to at least Windows XP by now. This may force their hand and will actually make life easier for me!

Thanks, Paul!
