Re: [DQSD-Users] The (errant) history of DQSD
Yeah, this is where we have some problem, and I'm not sure we can help it. I think closing the toolbar does not automatically unload the DLL for a variety of reasons and I'm not sure there's a documented way to force it. For some reason, the uninstall/install combo does not properly update the DQSDTools.dll, presumably because it's still locked by explorer.exe. As far as I know, the only safe way to make it work is to reboot after uninstalling DQSD, which should force the DLL to be writable. Sorry about the hassle, - Kim DQSD uses NSIS right? Which version does it use? According to the following links, with 2.01, there's a Library Installation System which is supposed to take care of DLLs in use. So this may be a matter of updating the installation scripts: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/What_is_the_best_way_to_upgrade_a_%28system%29_DLL_file http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/AppendixB.html Thanks, Ozgur _ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+worldmkt=en-USform=QBRE- Take Surveys.

Thanks for that. :) Great! ..and, for the record, I was a good boy -- I actually closed the toolbar before I chose to 'uninstall software' from the control panel, so it _shouldn't_ have been resident in memory during the uninstall process. :) Yeah, this is where we have some problem, and I'm not sure we can help it.

[DQSD-Users] The (errant) history of DQSD
Hi all... I hope somebody has a quick easy answer to this. I just got a new machine at work (yay!) and set about getting everything installed/configured/setup/etc. (including, of course, DQSD). I successfully transferred over my settings files and history file from the old machine to the new, and everything was (nearly) fine... except, on this machine, I was getting that annoying 'security warning' when booting up the machine, and had to click through that nonsense before DQSD would actually start. So, I set out to fix this problem... and, in researching, found Monty's post about simply installing the 4.0 release, which does something different and works around this error. (I had been running 3.1.9.2 and uninstalled that and installed 4.0 RC3). I was still getting those 'security' warnings, even with the 4.0 RC3 release, so I did the registry hack to resolve it, and that seems to have done the trick. Now the issue is with the history -- at first I thought it hadn't picked it up, but it has... it's just that the up/down arrows (or Ctrl-P/Ctrl-N) do not work to scroll through the history. As you might imagine, that significantly impacts the usefulness of the application! In the short term, I figured I could just load up my old history file in notepad, and cut/paste stuff into DQSD until I figured out the Up/Down not working -- no, Ctrl-V doesn't paste into the entry box, either. I basically have to type out whatever search/function I want to use, every time I want to use it. The coce seems to be working correctly -- in that what I type is being appended to the history.txt file, so I think it's just an issue with the keystrokes. But what? Any help would be most appreciated! (As a side note -- why did I upgrade to 4.0 to fix the 'security' thing, when it didn't fix it anyway and I still had to do the registry hack? I could have done that under 3.1.9.2 and not lost all the rest of this functionality!)

Thanks again. :) - brian Try ditching the registry hacks now as well, that should definitely not be necessary. It seems the problem is that the old DQSD isn't properly unloaded, and enters into some kind of conflict with the new one -- my guess is that you were actually seeing DQSD 3.1.9.2 in your taskbar when you got the security warning. I'm on the road so I won't be replying regularly, but I thought I'd post my hunch... Cheers, - Kim - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
