Working in Powerbuilder 6.5.
Have developed and tested Powerftp tool, and it works on dev machine.
Build app and install on clients machine, copying DartFTP.dll,DartSock.dll,DartFTP.dep,DartSock.dep to user's local directory(where exe resides).
DartFTP tool doesn't WORK?!

I can find no clear notes in the help file or this forum on what I am supposed to do when I want to deploy this thing. The only thing mentioned in the help was making sure I dl'd some windows update for DCOM98 on Windows98 machines(which this client is running). I am building on win2k(this is the machine with DartFTP Registered. PLEASE HELP

Nick,

  The following is from the Distribution Help File under the PowerTCP Components header:

PowerTCP Components
Refer to each PowerTCP Control main topic in this Help system (for example, Telnet Control main topic) for a list of dependent DLLs. For example, DartFtp.dll (containing the FTP Control) is dependent upon DartSock.dll for all communications. You must install both DLLs when you distribute your application. Each DLL ships with a .dep file that lists these dependencies.

PowerTCP DLLs must be registered. Most installation utilities will do this automatically; however, you can also use Regsvr32.exe. See System File Updates for more information on system file support before registering PowerTCP Tools.

  The DLL's have to be registered on the clients machine by using Regsvr32.exe DLLNAME.DLL. Hope that helps.

I have done this(for dartftp.dll,dartsock.dll and even dartzip.dll) with no result. the only machine that will successfully run it is the dev machine. Is there anything else I'm supposed to do? I have read all of the help topics on this, am I missing something?

Please define exactly what you mean by "doesn't work". What is the EXACT error message that you are receiving?

Application Error
Error accessing external object property timout at line 31 in function wf_setftpproperties of object w_elite_xlines_connected.

It's referring to my ole_ftp(powerftp) object's timeout property. The object doesn't appear to be there for any machine I run the exe off of, but when I run the exe off the dev machine it does work.

Did you perhaps insert the control before you registered the tool? If so, did you follow the instructions in the README for removing and re-adding the control?

My fault, I tried re-registering the dll's and now it works. I think, in my panic, that I may have mistyped the dll name and missed the error message. Thanks for the help(and patience)
