Installation on W2000 doesn't work - asks for gdiplus.dll

Post by bif »

Hi!

I tried a client installation von Windows 2000, but during the installation i get an error:

Dynamic Link Library gdiplus.dll couldn't be found in the specified path C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCAL~1\Temp\is-37H50.tmp;.;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT\system;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem.

Then a second error occures, that the file pdfcreactivex.dll couldn't bei registered, LoadLibrary failed, Code 126. The specified module couldn't be found.

Can anyone tell me, which files i have to provide with my installation, so it will work on a W2000 system?

Please answer quickly, i'm under pressure!!!

Thanks

Hello,

Are you installing the PDF Converter alone or the PDF Converter and the PDF Creator?

In your installation please unchek 'PDF Creator'.

This dll is required by the PDF Creator, if you wish you can downlaod the latest 2.50 version to overcome this issue.

I'm installing the files followed with my installation programm (Innosetup):

acfpdf.drv
acfpdf.txt
acfpdf.dll
acfpdfnt.dll
acfpdfu.dll
acfpdfuamd64.dll
acfpdfui.dll
acfpdfuia64.dll
acfpdfuiamd64.dll
acfpdfuiia64.dll
acpdfcrdb.dll *
acpdfcrext.dll *
cdintf.dll *
pdfcreactivex.dll *
install.exe

My installation programm copies all these files to a folder. Then the files with * are registered with regsvr32.

After this my installation programm executes the file install.exe.

And then the error occured.

Windows XP SP2 works without an error.

Hello,

From the dlls you mentioned i can see that you are installing both the PDF Converter and the PDF Creator.

The PDF Creator used gdiplus.dll if available if not it used the old gdi.

In the latest release we had an issue with the PDF Creator looking for gdiplus.dll and if not found it generates an error instead of using another version of this dll.

We have resolved this issue and posted the fix online.

I suggest that you download the latest version of your product today from our site and use the new dlls to install it.

If you still have any doubts or need more information you can contact support@amyuni.com

Which files are only for the installation of the PDF Creator?

You write "download the latest version of your product today from our site and use the new dlls to install it".

But I'm still using version 2.5. Is there an newer one, if so, please post the link!

Thanks!

Hello,

The dlls of the PDF Creator are:
acpdfcrdb.dll *
acpdfcrext.dll *
pdfcreactivex.dll *

You are most probably using version 2.50f, there a newer build that is 2.50f-1 that was released to resolve the issue with gdiplus. The link to downlaod it is: http://www.amyuni.com/en/support/updates.html

You can either remove the dlls of the PDF Creator from your installation for the moment or donwlaod the new version.

Hope this helps
