MSJava.dll dependency? (SB5)

[NewsArchive]

[Tuesday, February 15, 2005 1:13 AM]

Hi

I can't run SB5, latest web update. If I run SBUILDER.EXE in Depend Walker,
it shows MSJAVA.DLL as mising module. That dll doesn't exist in my computer,
I'm not sure when it was removed or SB5 started failing, as I not using SB5
in a daily basis yet.

Does SB5 really need MSJava.dll? Could the dependency be removed?
or, Is there a way to re-install MS Java Virtual Machine? I can't find it.

I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 Spanish.

Regards,

Carlos,

Just performed a dynamic and static sbuilder.exe scan, but sbuilder.exe does
not use (or is dependent on) MSJava.dll here on our systems. sbuilder.exe
is a native Clarion 6.1 executable.

BTW, msjava.dll is a module that provides the COM support for Java programs
to run in the Windows operating system and is part of Microsoft JVM.

Could it be a problem on your machine?

Thanks,
Friedrich

Carlos,

We checked this on 7 different machines and there is no MSJava.dll
dependency.

Friedrich,

Thanks for checking. I'm attaching what Depend Walker is showing me. The
tree in the upper left shows this dependency:

sbuilder.exe -> shell32.dll -> mshtml.dll -> msjava.dll.

I guess there is something wrong with my XP installation, probably my
shell32.dll is corrupted or outdated. I've also found another program
(non-clarion) which is failing, with same error and msjava dependency.

I'll try in the home notebook (same XP version) and let you know.

Regards,

Friedrich:

The msjava.dll dependency wasn't important. I managed to reinstall MS
Virtual machine to test, and it didn't fix it. Later I saw Dependency Walker
was labelling msjava.dll as a "delay-load module".

I found sbuilder.exe executed fine in my notebook, which has exactly the
same windows version of my desktop PC. I compared one by one all the dlls
used by sbuilder between notebook and desktop and all them matched. To
confuss things further, if I booted the desktop PC in safe mode, sbuilder
loaded fine.

After a few hours of uninstalling and reinstalling software, I finally found
the problem: the desktop PC has an AMD64 cpu. Windows XP SP2 has a new
feature called "Data Execution Prevention". If I add SBUILDER.EXE to the
list of exceptions, it loads fine. This feature is hidden in "My PC"
properties - "Advanced features" - first "Configuration" button - last Tab

I think somewhere in your code or in one of the libraries you are using
there is "unsafe" code. Maybe you should test this.

Regards,
