 file timestamps for two versions |

Hi, Peter,
I am having a problem and thought you might provide some info that would help me figure out what is going on.
I downloaded the current installer and put v 5.1 on my development machine. These are the time stamps on the pertinent files on my computer:
Chartdir51.dll 10/25/2012 7:53 am
Comchartdir.dll 4/25/2012 4:58 am
ChartViewer.ocx 3/2/2009 7:48 am
My colleague is supposed to have installed v 5. These are the time stamps on the pertinent files on HIS computer:
Chartdir50.dll 3/28/2009 11:59 pm
Comchartdir.dll 3/29/2009 5:54 am
ChartViewer.ocx 3/2/2009 7:48 am
So?are the timestamps correct?
(I am worried about ?mixed? installs and I expected to see different times stamps for the two occurences of the ocx file. So I wanted to get your confirmation that the ocx for 5.0 and 5.1 is the same.
When we tried to install our app (that uses Chart Director) on a third machine, we encountered a registration failure for Chartdir50.dll (?entry point for DllRegisterServer not found? or similar language).
The other two files requiring registration succeeded. I then copied in Chartdir51.dll
and Comchartdir.dll from MY XP computer to this failing Vista computer. The results were the same. One registered just fine but the other gave the same message on regsvr32 failure.
I will, of course, go back to your installer eventually to pursue these problems but I wonder if you have any explanation of what we are observing. And please confirm the correctness of the timestamps on the files above or let me know that they are wrong (because of operator error at my end).
The error message on regsvr32 failure seems to point at a bad file. At least that is my reasoning. But I want to get your POV. |

It seems that Chartdir*.dll is NOT a com dll so the failure of regsvr32 makes sense. I got the idea of registering it from the "installation" section of the documentation. ;=)
So if you could just confirm the timestamps, I would appreciate it. |

Hi Marlena,
The file timestamps are correct. Note that there should be one more file "aspapi.dll" with the same timestamp as "chartdir51.dll".
The "chartdir??.dll" does not require registration. See:
http://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdcom.htm#install.htm
(It specifically mentions "No registration is required." for the file "chartdir??.dll".)
Hope this can help.
Regards
Peter Kwan |
