Cannot Locate vfw32.dll

[Emperor]

Code Select Expand


include \masm32\include\vfw32.inc
includelib \masm32\lib\vfw32.lib


There's nothing wrong with my code it's just when I run my program it says it cannot locate vfw32.dll

Currently using Masm version 9.00

Any ideas?

what OS are you running?
it would appear that you do not have vfw32.dll in your system.

Windows XP SP2

I tryed making a similar program in C++ which worked out fine but in Masm it cannot find the DLL

There is no vfw32.dll on my Windows 2000 system, and according to the DLL Help Database no such file ever shipped with Windows. The Microsoft Vfw32.lib contains references to MSVFW32.dll and AVIFIL32.dll, and those files together seem to export at least most of the functions listed in the MASM32 vfw32.inc. Perhaps the MASM32 import library has a problem.

Yeah it must be a problem with the MASM32 import libray because if I edit all references to vfw32.dll into avicap32.dll my program works fine.

I guess only the creators can fix this problem.

vf232.dll is an old version of msvfw32.dll - Microsoft Video For Windows as far as i know.
This is the lastest known for me version, but some of the AVI Functions from vfw32.inc are not exported, but the other ones are.

p.s. The library is free and i dont break any license term,posting it here.

I managed to get this working by creating seperate include/library files for each of the DLL's I needed, if you want I can post them here.
