[VB] DLL rename problem by DJmorphine on 06-28-2004 at 06:36 PM
ok i created a plugin, Project Name: "UniCoder" and the object is called "plug"
so far so good, i compile it to the original filename(MPPluginVB.dll) put it in the plugin dir registered the dll with:
install.reg:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Patchou\MsgPlus2\RegisteredPlugins]
"UniCoder By DJmorphine"="UniCode.plug"
rebooted msn
plugin works fine, BUT when i change the filename to UniCoder.dll OR UniDJmorphine.dll or just a name. it doenst load any more.
Do i have to change something else somewhere??

I think because it needs you to register it again...
Try registering it again...

quote:yep, that may be the problem. When you compile a DLL, VB registers it for you, but if you change its name maybe you need to register it again:

regsvr32 dll_name.dll

i dont know why that should help because the project name and the object name stay's the same. but i tried it... and still nothing

then try to compile the with the final name you're going to use 
Also, do this: close messenger, unregister the dll (with regsvr32 /u dllname.dll), register it again and start messenger.
Ah, btw, and make sure plus loads the dll in your account (plus > preferences > plugins > you dll should be checked) Maybe your dll did something dodgy and the plus' protection removed it from the list of dlls to load.
