Subject: [rdnzl-devel] Could not load file or assembly error
Message-ID: <000c01ca7d12$a54905b0$efdb1110$@com>

Im attempting to get this to work on windows 7. I have .net 3.5 installed
but when I try this.

 

(defpackage :rdnzl-test (:use :cl :rdnzl))

(in-package :rdnzl-test)

 

(enable-rdnzl-syntax)

(import-types "System.Windows.Forms"

              "MessageBox" "MessageBoxButtons" "DialogResult")

 

 

I get the error

.NET error (System.IO.FileNotFoundException): Could not load file or
assembly 'System.Windows.Forms' or one of its dependencies. The system
cannot find the file specified.

 

Im pretty new to all of this, though im guessing this has something to do 

with setting environmental vars or something. But since you know the library


I figure you'll probably know the solution.

 

Looking forward to getting this to work! Thanks!

Hi Raymond,

I think this is due to your recent patch.  Isn't this supposed to work anymore?

Thanks,
Edi.

Seth, I'm attaching the previous version of RDNZL to this email which
you might want to try instead.

Edi.

Could be due to the patch, but I think you may have to explicitly
register rdnzl.ddl (using gacutil)? I seem to remember that I had to
do that on Win7. I'll take a look on my Win7 installation.

I just checked, and it does not appear that I used gacutil to register
rdnzl.dll.

I tried running the messagebox example, using rdnzl 0.12.2 and 0.13.
0.12.2 works, 0.13 does not. If I modify import.lisp so that
load-assembly uses the old code (with LoadWithPartialName), the
example works. Likewise if I change the code to try
LoadWithPartialName first, with Load (as used in 0.13) as a fallback.
The fallback probably won't help in the loading, but may be useful for
error trapping/reporting.

Sorry about this - I will remember to test the demo programs as well
as my own code the next time...

If you end up doing a new version instead of a rollback, it would be
good to have do-rdnzl-collection exported - it is implemented and
documented, but not exported (exactly as it was in the patch i sent,
so this, too, is my fault; again, sorry.)

On a more positive note: I'm using rdnzl for feeding documents into a
search engine, and rdnzl works just great for me - good performance,
and no sign of any memory leaks - and also reasonably easy to get
working. Thanks again for allowing me to do (almost) Microsoft-free
programming under Windows :-)

Sweet, it now works with the old version! Im also using the dll I recompiled
in desperation for the newest version but I imagine it?s the same. I'll
provide any help trying to get the newest patch to work, though I don?t
exactly know what it does.

Subject: [rdnzl-devel] New release 0.13.1 (Was: Could not load file or

Message-ID: <b56421a00912211714p753da36ds1cbe6e5193194bd4@mail.gmail.com>

I have now released a new version 0.13.1 which uses Load as a fallback
(I had the same idea initially) and also exports do-rdnzl-collection.
Raymond, thanks again for your help, but essentially this "fix" is
against your original idea to catch errors early if an assembly isn't
found, right?  Do you have a better idea?  (And good to hear about
your experiences with RDNZL.  I don't know of many users who deploy
RDNZL "in earnest" - I'm certainly not one of them - but I'm always
happy to hear about it.)

Seth, thanks for the report.

Cheers,
Edi.

Subject: [rdnzl-devel] New release 0.13.1 (Was: Could not load file or
	assembly error)

The new version (0.13.1) fixes the breakage introduced by my code, so
that is good - thanks, and sorry for the mess I caused.

The reason I suggested using Load was that Load generated exceptions
where LoadWithPartialName would return nil (it did also complain, but
not sufficiently loud that I noticed :-)

Sooo, I think that maybe import-assembly should do something like

(or [LoadWithPartialName ...]
    (let (..)
       [Load ...])

That way, if LoadWithPartialName returns nil, Load will have a chance
to report the actual error.

Alternatively, we could revert back to using the original code, and
add a separate version that uses Load in all its gory glory.

Yes, that's of course better.  I should have thought of that myself...

I made a new release with this change.

Thanks and Happy Holidays,
Edi.

I'm sorry that nobody was able to help here, but just out of
curiosity: Did you ever solve the problem?
