Problem installing in NT

When running TeeInstall on NT4 (SP6a), it fails with error "Entry Point Not Found" - "The procedure entry point GetLongPathNameA could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll".

The following paragraph was extracted from the SDK reference:
Windows NT and Windows 95: Include an additional header file called NewAPIs.h to make GetLongPathName available on these operating systems. The function is not implemented natively, but by a wrapper that uses other native functions on these systems. For details about using preprocessor directives that make the function available, see the header file. If you do not have this header file, you can download the most recent SDK from the SDK Update Site.
In order to truly support NT, GetLongPathName should be dynamically linked at runtime with the proper library.

And most important: Does this problem appear only in TeeInstall, or it affects other Tee componnets as well? In case it's just the installer a temporary workaround could be to manually install the components, otherwise a source code change and recompilation would be required.

Hi iaacov,

We have just modified TeeInstall.exe to avoid this issue and sent it to your forums contact e-mail address. Could you please let us know if it solves the issue?

Hi NarcĂ­s,

I replaced TeeInstall.exe with the new one and left it in the same directory:
C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 707 for Builder 5\Builder 5.

When I run it I get a message:
TeeChart files cannot be found under current folder structure.
Current folder: C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 707 for Builder 5\Builder 5

Should I set the current folder to something else?

Thanks,
Iaacov

Hi Iaacov,

You could try placing TeeInstall.exe at C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 707 for Builder 5.
