pVoice 2.1 as good as finished (or not?)

[ #18785 ]
After fixing the bug I've been working on for months, I continued to finish pVoice 2.1. Except for some non-coding work (like writing the Dutch helpfiles and things like that) it all works now.

I created a standalone executable of this with PAR on my Windows XP system, ran it there and everything worked fine. I then moved the file to my daughter's Win 98 SE machine, and the executable failed to start, giving me an access violation in 7049C8B1.DLL. Now I presume this DLL is somewhere in the PAR generated .exe, but I can't find it. And since it's not giving me any useable information on *what* is actually going wrong I don't know what to do next.

ActiveState's PerlApp isn't very helpful either, because it can't handle BOM and (afaik) I need it in my preferences dialog (where you can select your language).

Suggestions welcome...

  • This might be a red herring, but is wxWidgets built to use unicows.dll?

    What happens if you run pVoice on your win98 box without PAR?

    • I intentionally used a non-unicode version of wxPerl to prevent possible problems, if that runs, I'll use a Unicode version, indeed using MSLU=1 and thus the unicows.dll.
      The problem just became weirder...I set up a Windows 98 SE environment in VMWare (under my XP system), installed pVoice 2.1-to-be there and it works like a charm. Same amount of memory, same amount of harddisk space.
      Now I must say that the system on which it failed runs Win98SE for 4 consecutive years now, so I'm beginning to think I'll nee
