awxDTools keeps saying something about a .dll

[jjaomni]

I turned off secure mode and tried to re-register with the programs short cut and I have both the 64 version of dt and the context shell extension. But it keeps saying can not access the .dll please turn off secure mode

hi!
try to enable the creation of 8.3 filenames with the following command:

fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 0

then reboot and re-register the extension from the start-menu.
i try to fix it in the next build.
regards
arni

i had the same problem, but arniWORX found the problem...

Make sure that you have turned on, the creation of 8.3 (DOS)
filenames. to enable, use the following command:

fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 0

and reboot the computer. after that, re-register this extension
from the start-menu.

still not working for me on x64

secure mode is an option of DT...

[jjaomni]

same error, tried using 32bit version of dt and aniworx' shell extension,
tried aniworx' solution but this did not help, still can't register .dll

I get "Unable to access image file" error for some images. Looks like an error in awxDTools because I can mount image with Daemon Tools.

you have first to disable 8.3 filename creation AND to recreate your DAEMON Tools folder! Just rename you current folder and create a new folder with 8.3 filename. All files should be copied into the new folder. :wink:

EDIT: how to do:

- disable 8.3 filename creation!

- reboot machine

- close Daemon Tools (, if it's running)

- rename your current folder (e.g. 'C:\Programs\Daemon Tools\' to 'C:\Programs\Daemon\')

- create a new folder (should have the name of you old folder, see example: 'C:\Programs\Daemon Tools\')

- copy/move all files from your old folder to the new created (e.g. from 'C:\Programs\Daemon\' to 'C:\Programs\Daemon Tools\')

- delete the old folder (e.g. 'C:\Programs\Daemon\')

this could work.

reason for this is in fact the 8.3 filename creation, but if your current 'Daemon Tools' folder was created without 8.3 filename, you have to recreate it with 8.3 filename creation.

awx said the new version should be able to handle long filenames.

mh, the folder renaming doesn't help
i still get the .dll error message
