Error calling DLL Function Kernell32.dll

[Arthur]

Hi Everybody,

I come from 15+ years experience with Wise scripting. Our company is evaluating InstallAware to replace Wise. 90% of our deployments are re-distributing another vendor's application and the other 10% is our own in house applications that we deploy to our employees.

I think Native Setup/Blank Script is what we'll be using vast majority of the time. With that said, I'm getting an error message that I cannot find the answer to on the Forums or F1. I want to put a 4 second pause. I'm getting a "Unable to load plug-in library. Please rebuilt your project......" error.

Below is the code. I hope I pasted it correctly.

Dear Arthur,

Honestly I don't know why ... but trying to use the code you posted I am able to replicate the same error, while totally replacing the CallDll statement with a new identical one, it works!

Maybe your code has been damaged\altered in some way.

Anyway attached you find my project ... it's totally based on your code + my edited CallDll statement.

Regards

[Arthur]

You are absolutely right. Somehow it was damaged/corrupt when I did a copy and paste. I created it from scratch and it worked! Lessoned learned, do not copy and paste. Thank you again.

Glad to hear you also found that a new statement worked. That was my experience as well but I figured I was doing something "wrong" and that the copy-and-paste somehow spooked it. I even consulted my ancient Dan Appleman's book on the Win32 API just to make sure that the correct parameters were being used which as we know, they were.
