ODIN Revisited

<< < (5/8) > >>

Tuure Linden:
IrfanView really does seem to run great. I tested myself, too.

Dave Yeo:
Dies here when creating thumbnails.

Tuure Linden:
I was wondering if it's possible to make SumatraPDF to work with ODIN. It complained about missing DLLs. I downloaded some versions of them from dll-files.com. There are no error messages anymore but the program still doesn't start. It may require specific versions of those DLLs (msvcrt.dll for example).

ivan:
Sorry, I learned a long time ago that you can't just add/use windows DLLs to Odin - they don't work.  The OS/2 DLLs are LX while the Win DLLs are ME.

That was what pe2lx.exe was for. Seems to have been renamed to xx2lx.exe. Run with no parameters to see how to use.
There was also win2k.sys which worked like a PE loader, could run Win32 programs by clicking on them and it would convert and load the DLLs, even DLL's with long names. It has also been renamed to xx2k.sys or such and isn't really recommended to use. It could load other stuff too IIRC.
