[WriteLog] Writel32 Illigal Operation

[Ron Tremayne VK3IO]

Thank You Steve, George and Mork for your replies, to my problem.

Yes I have recently installed some new software, namely AE6Y logging program, cqwin92. I had cqwin73 which coexisted OK, but the upgrade caused the problem with writelog.

Off course now the problem is how to undo (fix) the problem.

Mork suggested the following:

"Ron,

I had this problem with Writelog last year when a different program (AE6Y's
CQPWIN) changed that DLL  during its' installation process.  I even tried
tracking down the "original" Windows DLL and reinstalling it, but no go.

Eventually I had to uninstall both programs, reinstall the whole Windows
component (DCOM?) that includes the RPCRT4.DLL, and then reinstall Writelog
and not the other program.  Wasted a good week of time!  Have you installed
any new software after Writelog?  You might try uninstalling it and then
installing a newer Writelog version.

Sorry, no definite answer for you, but you're on the right track that
RPCRT4.DLL is changed/out-of-date/corrupted.

I have tried uninstalling both programs and that did not fix it and I tried replacing the RPCRT4.DLL with a file from another computer but, no go.

So it looks like I have to go one step further and re-install the Windows component DCOM as Mork suggested.

Till next time, Thank You

Ron
