Install Build 263 fails

[rsmarks]

After cleaning up references to C:\expd20 in some of the build files, the DCXML\BUILD20 failed with ALINK: fatal error ALK4001: cannot open file "asxml10.lib" because I do not have that lib in my xbase foundation subscription. So I skipped that build.

After I recompiled my program it will not start because adsutil.dll is missing because I have a foundation subscription. This was never a problem before.

What do I need to do?

I will give you a fix for this by tomorrow.
I had not tested it with only a foundation subscription.

I don't know how you could have used the DCXML stuff before.
You would have needed the professional subscription to use that prior to build 263.

Just to clarify, I have never used Dcxml. When I ran c:\exp20\Build20.bat I had to comment out its build. I assumed I had to run Build20.bat to make sure it was compatible with my current version of xbase++ and that I have to rerun in whenever I update xbase++ to a new build

This is a wrong assumption.
If other eXpress++ users believe this too, then I have not done a good job of communicating.

From now on, I will make sure that those .BAT files are removed from the distribution.
They are there in the event that you would want to do a complete rebuild, but I cannot think of a situation where you would want to do this. Those tools are for myself, not you. The .BAT files in each \exp20\source subfolder are there for your rebuilds, and you should only do this in the event that I have posted a fix on the web forum.

My bad. Should I uninstall and reinstall express 2.0 just to make sure everything is as you intended before you give me the corrections needed for my foundation subscription?

That was going to be my recommendation. You shouldn't need to do the uninstall though as there is nothing added to the registry. A reinstall will just overwrite everything.

I've reinstalled everything. It still does not work because I have a Foundation subscription. Please let me know as soon as you have a version that will work. Thx.

Which dll is it failing to find?

[rsmarks]

adsutil.dll

Ok, I figured out the problem.

DCLIPX.DLL ( 2.0 version ) includes a file named _DCCXP.PRG.
This is a work in progress.
It had references to ADSDBE and ADSUTIL.
I commented out those references.

Sorry about this.

Here is an updated DCLIPX.DLL and _DCCXP.PRG.
