I admit I used Dependency Walker last time somewhere around 1998.
Maybe I oversaw that feature.:(
I was happy when everything work
time is money, so most time one must make compromises.
A big problem is that many programs are simply bought without asking our
department, so one can only react.

A lot of tasks are solved with Makros inside Word etc.
Because of this chaos I`m busy keeping everything working.
You can`t imagine how strange some programs are.
Some e.g a cash department programs loads .386 files (16 bit vxd I think).
Some programs work only under Dos because they use memory right after freeing it, something that does not work under Windows.

As long as everything works corporate finance department will refuse any increase
of our budget.
Fortunatly pcs used for normal office work were migrated to GNU/Linux & Staroffice due to license problems.
When I have spare time I look at this
>the problem is that this exe e.g blabla1.exe extracts during runtime another exe from itself called e.g blabla2.exe
>starting only that extracted exe blabla2.exe does not work.
with an up to date version of Dependency Walker.

You might be interested in installing the Active Desktop Update.
It gives you the whole Windows 98 style shell...

Also, this page has lots of notes on the whole thing including
all the ways you should (and shouldn't) install it...

I have an even better way of installing the IE Active Desktop Update under Windows 95 listed at my Computer Tips for Windows page:
http://erpman1.tripo...m/comptips.html
(scroll down to near the bottom of the page; I've even included a tip of creating a [.BAT] batch file that will install the desktop update when IE 5.x is already installed)

Note that after installing the IE Desktop Update with IE 5.x setup you will NOT see the "Show File Attributes In Detail View" option in the Folder Options {View} tab dialog box. You must add the necessary registry entries to add the File Attributes setting after you install the IE Desktop Update.

..what is sleekv2?
============

In a regular 98lite SLEEK and MICRO the win95 shell32.dll is used and the win98 shell32.dll is renamed to shell32.w98. Applications that *require* this windows98 version must be binary patched to access shell32.w98 instead of shell32.dll

... now in sleekv2, the win95 shell32.dll is named shell32.w95
explorer(95).exe is patched to access shell32.w95 instead of shell32.dll
shell32.dll in the system folder is now the win98 shell32.dll (ie the same as for chubby). Now some of the newer routines are available for third party applications.

Hi ssmokee

This 98Lite patch, only modify Explorer.exe from Windows 95 to work with Win98 shell32.dll.
Windows 98 shell32.dll continue as default. :angry: :angry:

:hello: :hello:


That's not true. 98Lite uses both the Windows 95 explorer.exe and Windows 95 shell32.dll. This is why the dreaded "linked to missing export SHELL32.DLL" problem is occuring.

RJARRRPCGP is right on. Programs like Win98 Wordpad and the Spider Solitaire game (from Plus!98 and the newer one listed here:
http://www.3feetunde...pider_setup.exe
These programs are not compatible with Win95 shell32.dll and generate those "Linked to missing export SHELL32.DLL" error messages.

You can add quick launch bar in Windows 95 without install Internet Explorer and active desktop! download my zip file attach here, then extract to windows directory, running main executable (ql95.exe), if you having trouble try merge the registry file. or
