AB panel builder 1400e DOS wont run in 16-bit windows?
(OP)
i am working on panel view software, and when i try to open panel builder 1400e (AB) i get these errors:
'no iceutil.dll found' i copied iceutil.dll from RS software/RSview enterprise folder. that got rid of this error, but the next one comes up either way.
'one of the library files needed to run pb1400e cannot load in the 16-bit windows subsystem becuase it is a win32dll.
im running on windows XP.
i have already installed the 841559 hotfix.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

Why Win 3.11? Well, the com port handling is reliable in Win 3.11 and you can actually decide what it does <gasp!>, rather than Bill's minions deciding for you. I abandoned any hope of running some of our DOS applications in the pseudo-DOS windows from within the later operating systems. Anything which directly interacts with a com port is usually either unreliable or simply doesn't work. My laptop runs multiboot options for DOS 6.2 with Win 3.11, NT4, and XP because it is easier than messing about, especially with A-B's flakey serial port drivers.
I've just had a fun-filled few days trying to get my A-B 1747-PIC working again with my laptop after IT 'upgraded' it, so I have a lot of sympathy!
