Hi,

I coded a MOCA dll object under W2k. Everything works fine by now, but when I try to use this dll under Windows NT I get the following message from Origin as soon as I try to use the defined MOCA object:


    Load Library Failed: 
    Error 182
    Das Betriebssystem kann %1 nicht ausfuehren.
    (The operating system can't execute %1.)


First, it looks like that the %1 is a placeholder which wasn't properly substituted by the objects name. Secondly I don't understand why it doesn't work, since under W2k it's working without problems.

So I recompiled everything on the WNT computer, but it's exactly the same game...

Any idea?

According to Microsoft documentation error 182 means ERROR_INVALID_ORDINAL "The operating system cannot run %1."

Did you create the MOCA DLL project from scratch or is this based on a MOCA example that came with Origin?

hi eparent,

it's based on the moca example from origin!
I wasn't aware that this error message comes from Windows. I thought it's Origin-specific. Well, looks like the ordinal 70 which was used by default in the moca example gives WNT headache!??


# content of def file
LIBRARY      "TEK7000"
DESCRIPTION  'TEK7000 Windows Dynamic Link Library'

EXPORTS
	MocaEntry @70


What do you think?

Thanks again, eparent!

You pointed me in the right direction once again! ;)

I made a MAJOR ERROR! I still had old VC++ 5.0 dlls in the Origin directory, though I upgraded to VC++ 6.0 recently.

I forgot to throw them out of the origin install directory. Actually I shouldn't need those files at all there. Now I learned that they should be better copied to directory \winnt\system32, which works fine now.

You are welcome. I'm not sure what I did in this case, but I'm glad the problem is resolved.

Also, just so you know, the error message is from Origin. Origin is simply reporting what Windows returns when a DLL fails to load with the LoadLibrary API call.

Hi eparent,

I see, so it looks like my assumption seems to be quite right that the "%1" in the error message is indeed a origin placeholder for something!

Anyway, I am happy that it works now. Home-made problem solved, eventually. Luckyly.
