PING looking for DLLs in APPLICATION Folder?

[stevekellogg]

I have many users reporting a CRASH on my (SWFKit produced) application.

I've narrowed it down to the PING routines.

It seems that SWFKit is looking for ICMP.dll and DNSAPI.dll in the APPLICATION folder instead of the System32 folder where it belongs.

It seems that if the user's environment is not setup to accomodate this requirement, then the entire application CRASHES.

Can you offer any insights?

We will test it and resolve the problem a.s.a.p.

Thanks very much.

After further review, it seems that the offending routines might be the Ping routines, OR the IPConfig routines.

Thanks again.

The ping method does not looking for "ICMP.dll" in the app folder, but in the system folder. On nt/2000/xp/vista, it will use the "icmp.dll" to ping, whereas on 9x it will use raw socket. Because raw socket on nt/2000/xp/vista requires administrative privileges. The problem you've encountered may not be caused by the "ping" method. Could you please send a skp file to support@swfkit.com? Thank you.

I needed this ASAP, so I wrote my own PING routines.

All I can say is that removing the SWFKit PING routines caused everything to work.

Best
