Bug #14464 Updated: apphelp.dll dependency breaks extensions on platforms other than XP

ID: 14464 Updated by: sniper Reported By: drobert@bfm.bm Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: OpenSSL related Operating System: win32 except XP PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: Report this to Microsoft. Not a PHP bug -> bogus. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-13 07:27:13] drobert@bfm.bm It seems that I have narrowed down the problem. The culprit does seem to be IE6. I did the same installation on a Win2000 machine with IE5.5 instead on IE6, and the install came clean, including the dependencies. IE6 seems to put in a dependency on a file which belongs to XP; why it doesn't break other apps is a mystery, but that's M$. I'm definitely paying the price for not following my own advice about putting a new version of a microsoft product on my system before the 2nd SP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-12 18:18:50] sniper@php.net there's no dll in the binary package which is directly dependent upon that dll. where did you get that info from? daniel --- Daniel, next time, use the web interface for replying to bug reports. --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-12 13:47:35] drobert@bfm.bm There is a dependency in certain modules (notably php_openssl) on apphelp.dll. This file seems to only be available on WindowsXP (and the file shipped with XP won't work on win2000). If I am correct (I'm not entirely sure), any use of this dll will render the extensions useless on any windows version prior to XP). Source: DLL Help on MSDN. (The file is only listed as part of Windows XP). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14464&edit=1
