Hi Oli!
1. I've noticed EXACTLY the same!
2. I presume that you will get the "Dependency Walker" warnings you mentioned after
you update Windows 98/98SE with the latest ".net" stuff.
3. Like you said: SHLWAPI.dll, the Shell Light-weight Utility Library, Version
6.00.2600.0000, © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved, now depends on two
new delay-load dependency modules:
a. APPHELP.dll and USERENV.dll requiring the ApphelpCheckShellObject and SHBindToParent
"import" function respectively.
b. OLE32.dll and SHEL32.dll have CoWaitForMultipleHandles and SHBindToParent
"import" function respectively unresolved.
4. So far, NON of my applications running under 98SE have ceased to work due this.
5. Upon investigating this issue, I found that, if you are developing applications,
then you could use from KERNEL32.dll the GetLastError function to check for error
Code: 1259, Description: "AppHelp dialog canceled thus preventing the application
from starting", Name: ERROR_APPHELP_BLOCK ... to ignore the error and continue with
"whatever" when your application is running on a ".net" updated Windows 98/98SE.
6. With all honesty, I don't know or am sure how does these dependencies and unresoveld
functions affect applications running under Windows 98/98SE, nor that my statement
in the previous paragraph is the right solution to any problems yet to be seen or
experienced.
Sincerely,
Paco Capella
