DLL Question

I have downloaded a previous copy of your great program. I worked with it for some time. however some how, I lost three dlls and since, DXTBmp will not work. I downloaded the mwgfx dlls but they will not install. Each time I try, I get errors installing it. The error states that there is an applicaiton that is running dll, that I should stop it and then re run it. however, even on reboot and nothing running (other than windows xp) still gives me the error. Some how, I was able to find mwdds, mwdlg, mwgfvb, mwgfx24 amd ,mwgfxcopy under the system 32 folder. I am missing mwace, mwacevb and mwddsvb. What am I doing wrong. can I just get those files by themselves??? Or perhaps save them on a different location and then copy them into the correct folder?

Re: DLL Question

You will get this message if the dll installer is unable to copy the dlls to SYSTEM for any reason. The most likely reason is that a program using the dlls is currently running and so locking the dlls and preventing overwriting but it could be other problems such as folder security settings or read-only files

The installer is a self-extracting zip executabe so if you have winzip or winrar (or 7zip or any other archiving tool) you should be able to right-click on the installer file and extract the files so you can then copy them manually to your SYSTEM folder. At least when copying manually Windows should give a bit more information if it flags an error
