Hi,

 

I installed FWTools 2.2.8 including OpenEV on my windows Vista 64 machine.

When I launch OpenEV I get the message

"Pythonw.exe - Ordinal Not Found. The ordinal 3288 could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll"

 

Anyone have an idea why this is or what I can do to fix? any hints or help would be greatly appreciated.

 

-Joe

Joe,

I suspect you have a copy of libeay32.dll installed in \windows\system32
that is being used in preference to the one in FWTools2.2.8\bin.  You
could potentially work around this by running OpenEV in the FWTools bin
directory (set the start directory accordingly).  Alternately you could
copy the FWTools LIBEAY32.DLL over the one in \system\windows32 though
I'd suggest backing it up first in case that breaks something else.

Best regards,

AFAIK, windows system directory is always looked up first before current
directory or directories in the path. If there's a way to ignore windows
system directory I'd like to know. The installation program can detect
that there's a potential conflict of this kind but there are no good
solutions, I have chosen to inform the person doing the installation of
the issue. This is a fundamental Windows design fault or at least the
designer of the installation program, which put the DLL into system
directory in the first place, should be blamed.

A cursor search of my c: drive turns up 5 iterations of libeay32.dll,
representing at least 3 different version numbers as reported by the
properties dialog for each. I tried renaming and copying different
versions around and found no success. I think I'll wait for a future
version.

Thank you for your very kind assistance.
