MiniDumpWriteDump in dbghelp.dll

[anva]

I downloaded the last stable release of HippoEdit (1.42) and installed it. But when I tryed to launch the program I got an error, about finding the address of  the MiniDumpWriteDump procedure in the dbghelp.dll. I have Windows 2000 and The library is present on the system in several folders included "C:\Winnt\System32".

Hi anva,
welcome to our community.

Sorry to hear you run into trouble.

Perhaps you could do this to help Alex finding the problem:

1.) search for dbghelp.dll and check the version of this DLL, post this version number here
2.) copy this DLL into HippoEDIT folder, try to start HippoEDIT again
3.) tell us which ServicePack you use on Win2000 (press Win-Key plus Break-Key  or check Properties of "My Computer")
4.) tell us the build number of you HippoEDIT version (check Help > About)

Hope this helps...

1. The version of the dbghelp.dll file is 5.0.2195.6613
2. Done > it does not work yet
3. Service Pack 4
4. As the program does not start, I cannot look at the Help menu, but in the Properties of the HippoEdit.exe file, I can read the file version, that is 1.42.650.0

Hi anva,

check this FAQ topic.
Basically you need to install latest Debugging tool for windows.

From version 1.43 I inlcude dbghelp.dll into installation (but only for 98/Me non-unicode version).
But I was not aware that MiniDumpWriteDump was not included in all version of dbghelp.dll.
Would keep this in mind, that version I install togetether with HippoEDIT should be one with MiniDumpWriteDump.

Thanks!

Please tell us if new Debugging tool for windows would help.

Best regards,
Alex.

Ok, I downloaded and installed the latest Debugging tool for windows, and it works, but I had to copy the dbghelp.dll of the Debugging tool for windows into the HippoEdit folder manually, in order to let it work.

Thanks
