[WriteLog] Writel32 Illigal Operation

[Dick Dievendorff]

After you copy the correct DLL, try "regsvr32 rpcrt4.dll".   The DLL may have different functionality and the DLL "registers" this functionality during installation if you do this. 

Maybe another program installed a back-level DLL. That's not supposed to happen with a "good" installer.

  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  RPCRT4.DLL is changed/out-of-date/corrupted.

  Mark "Mork" Aaker  K6UFO"

  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
