Using Delphi 7 I wrote application utilizing SMTPSEND library to send logs from server machines. In most cases it is invoked from batch files which are called from Windows Task Scheduler.
I configured SMTPSEND to use TLS for SMTP connections, and everything works fine when I run batch file manually. However when batch file is executed from Task Scheduler, connection fails. Debug version of application revealed that SMTPSEND procedures failed to load libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll placed in the same directory where application resides. I found the cause of that on SS64.com (http://ss64.com/nt/pushd.html): "When a batch script is 'Run as Admin' in Vista or Windows 7, the current directory will be set to C:\windows\system32\" I found three not always working and unsatisfactory solutions: 1) Placing instruction >> pushd "%~dp0" << at the beginning of batch (as adviced at SS64.com) 2) Using "start in" option in Windows Task Scheduler. 3) Placing libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll in C:\windows\system32\ They are not universal because there are cases when my application is executed without possibility to be run from batch file or task scheduler and sometimes I have no authorizations to place anything in system32 folder. What I need is a method to either a) learn SMTPSEND to locate and load DLL files correctly (even when application gets false location from its executing process) or b) embed these DLLs in my executable somehow. Any help will be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ synalist-public mailing list synalist-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/synalist-public
