Call dll

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

I'm using CallDLL to call a dll. Works fine, but if I call it multiple
times it crashes the installer and it just disappears. I'm passing a single
*CString into it. I'm _not_ calling the LoadDLL, just calling the "Call
DLL" repeatedly. In this particular install I can work around this with
just one call, but I have others where I need to do at least two calls. Any
ideas what to look for?

Best regards,

Using the LoadDLL/FreeDLL and use the dll handle instead of the dll name
solved it - also found a string variable that wasn't disposed of in my (dll)
code which probably didn't help<g> I had an install that has multiple
tempaltes that I needed to do a search/replace in and it was crashing the
installer every time as it hit the dll. All better now:)
