George, I'm no expert at the embedding API....I'm just learning myself. But it seems to me that mfcembed is looking for the components it needs within the directory local to the executable. See this line?
NS_NewNativeLocalFile(nsDependentCString(T2A(path)), TRUE, getter_AddRefs(mreAppDir)); And path is set from a call to GetModuleFileName. It later uses mreAppDir in the embedding initialization. If it can't find the components directory and the stuff in it, it craps out every time. This seems to be the case with all of the embedding examples. I'm betting if you modify it so mreAppDir gets set to the directory for the MRE or even the unzipped mozilla binary path it'll work just fine. Maybe via an environment variable? -Shane On Mon, 03 Jan 2005 21:40:38 +0800, George Zhang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hi all, > >I'm trying to embed Mozilla in an application basing mfcembed.exe, and >found that mfcembed.exe in mozilla 1.7 or 1.8a4 can't run outside of GRE >directory or the unzipped mozilla binary path. mfcembed.exe is included >in a .zip mozilla binary, if it's unzipped, mfcembed.exe runs >successfully under that directory.
