Re: All plugins are throwing a License or privilege error on windows. Was: Dll error help

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

my first thought is windows creates 'shadow' directories.
and that the plugins are being moved/referenced from there when the program 
runs - which breaks the expected path 4D is using to try to access the plugins.
I would consider this idea to more likely if the same database works on a Mac

All plugins are throwing a License or privilege error on windows. Was: Dll error help

[JOHN BAUGHMAN via 4D_Tech]

This is an old database v12 that I am trying to upgrade to v16 and later. I had 
upgraded it to v14 on a Mac, but when I moved it to Windows Server 2008 I got 
the dll error that started this thread and as noted that foundation’s Extras 
plugin was throwing a license or privilege error. 

Walt... it is Foundation 3. I would upgrade it but do not have the luxury of 
time in this particular case to go that route at the moment.

I Decided to move on to v16 and see what happens, Lo and behold, the dll error 
went away, but the Extras plugin continued throw errors and I have since 
realized that this was the case for all the plugins in the plugin folder. The 
plugins are in fact being loaded as they are recognized (tokenized) in the 
design environment. The error is thrown when any plugin command is called.

I do have a working built application (v12) with the same plugins installed and 
they work fine there. I copied the plugins from the built application on the 
same windows machine to my upgraded version with the same result. 

Being that 4D does recognize the plugin commands, I think this has something to 
do with the OS security settings for the plugins folder and it’s contents. 
Currently System, Administrators and Users all have Full control are set for 
the Plugins folder and all of it’s content..

Any ideas?

All my windows work is being done in VirtualBox VMs.

Thanks,

John
