#CDK and Windows 95
4 messages in this thread
Thanks.
Neil,
I have installed Win '95 on my system…. the first hang-up was that
Win '95 would not let me install (i.e. upgrade) with Window's NT on the
system….
unless ALL program groups were deleted from my previous installed programs…
which meant (according to Microsoft) that I would have to reinstall all of my
programs. And, they also made a note that I could not simply copy my
program.ini files from my previous installation of windows. I decided to
delete the
NT system 32 directory, which allowed me to install Win '95, Visual C++, and
CDK.
BUT…… when I tried to compile a sample application in CDK I
received
an error that it could not find wing32.lib I searched my entire drive,
apparently the Win 95
install deleted my WinG libraries. I tried to reinstall them and set a path,
but this does not
seem like a logical solution (which did not work.) I have a second computer
that I am going to use NT on, and keep Win 95 on the other… just so I can
keep up to speed on the new Win 95 interface (which
I do like working with so far.)
Thanks for your input I hope things work better for you in the future.
Neil,
Things are working for me here in the future….
I have CDK compiling in WIN '95.
* I went into the CDK makefile and set a path directlly to "WinG32.lib"
* Also, CDK demo's look for "WinG.dll" in the \windows\system32
directory…
you will have to create this directory and place the dll in for it to
work.
Anyway, things are looking good for working in Win '95, only time well
how
stable it is….
