This request may be beyond the scope of your help. I am trying to solve an
issue that involves tix84.dll, a side-by-side error, .mp4 extension, and a
wininst.exe that occurs from within Corel’s Paint Shop Photo Pro x3. An unusual
request that may not involve Python at all, but, rather “some else’s
programming.” – of course. I have scanned through Python’s FAQ’s and bug
checker - as a side note I must say that I deeply respect the way this website
is organized – truly brilliant and a lot of webmasters could learn from this
layout. I can say that I am not a programmer. At least not advanced enough to
be commercially successful. I would consider myself to be a competent bug
checker yet I am stumped. I have included here a lot of information pertaining
to this error. Would it be appropriate to send you error logs that might help?
Python was included in Corel’s Paint Shop Photo Pro x3 version that I
installed. Strangely the tix84.dll is not present in the Python dll library
directory that is installed by PSP. I did locate that file from a known source
and place it there which allows a certain PSP installation package to operate
(which I believe is not supposed to occur in the first place); that would be
wininst-8_d.exe which is present in the proper directory – yet Windows error
log reports that it can’t find it. This installer wouldn’t continue without
that dll. Now that it was able to continue and finish this peculiar
installation, any attempt to start the program halts with
“DetectLanguage()error. Exiting.” The program did function normally in every
way it was supposed to previous to this odd installation. The strangest thing
is that this installer was only initiated when I would attempt to open an .mp4
file in any fashion whether PSP was running or not. Until recently I would
normally cancel the install operation and if I was running the application PSP
would continue as usual. I ignored it. This was the first program I had
installed after completely installing and updating a clean Windows 7 64bit on a
new machine. The PSP program itself was further updated four times. This
problem occurred before and after that procedure. Everything else that has been
installed, 32 or 64 bit, has performed perfectly...well as perfect as humans
can get.
I have viewed the Corel message board and found several occurrences of this
problem with no solutions provided. I will also post this to comp.lang.python
seeking help.
I would like to thank you now for taking your time to read this and I hope
you can lead me in the right direction.
