"Did you find you had to a manual registry update.?I think regsvr32 j.dll
would do the required. If you tried that and it didn't work I would like to
know. Thanks for pursing this."
Hi Eric,
I tried regsvr32 early on, but it had no effect. Normally this is the
cure-all for COM, but not this time.
I hunted around the microsoft site + chased down various leads... one of
which was to ensure .net was being compiled to 32 bit. This was already the
case. Another suggestion was the COM/COM+ security settings for Win7 64...
again, setting were in order, and even upgrading security for the J
component had no effect.
So from there, I decided to stay with j602 64 bit for now. As I couldn't
use the .dll anymore, one of the suggestions on the J forum from January
(from Oleg?) was to use the Exe instead. Did this, and everything seemed to
be fine. I could push data in, but when pulling it out again, the results
are garbled up. i.e. the pattern initially looks a little like unicode might
e.g. {number} 0 {another number} 0 ... etc ... until there is no resemblence
at all -- this is an impression as the returned array had hundreds of
elements... perhap my results were wrong... but it looks like memory not
being translated correctly.
So, I alternated between the .GetB() / .Get() methods to retrieve data, and
I was not relying on the text results comming out of DoR.
So, I then confirmed that the data transport mechanism is suspect (at least
here) with some natively generated J data using "ret=:50-i.100". These
later tests done on j602.
I'm fairly sure that that j.dll was returning the right results when it was
still working on my machine.
Hope isn't normally a good remedy, but I am hoping that I can get this
going.
No problem on following this up. I wasn't sure if I was being a pest or not
by asking about stuff you guys might be trying to retire.
Tomorrow, I guess I'll start testing with j602 32 bit / j7 32 bit. That
shouldn't be a problem given the the data sets are reasonably sized.
thanks,
-Steven
