Is Internet Explorr 4 or newer installed? As far as I know
it's required for FileZilla to run under NT4.

comment:2 by phelum, 18 years ago

I do have IE 5.5 installed. I have never had a problem with
FileZilla before. All releases I have tried up to 2.2.23a
run with no problems. I will re-install 2.2.24 and get the
exact error message.

The error is :
The procedure entry point SHGetSpecialFolderPathW could not
be located in the dynamic link library SHELL32.dll

Thanks,

I have exactly the same problem on the same platform (NT4
SP6a with IE 5.5 SP2).
If I uninstall 2.2.24a and install 2.2.23a, it works fine,
but if I then uninstall 2.2.23a and install 2.2.24a then
it fails with the same error message. Seems to be related
to the 'My Documents' enhancement in 2.2.24a. (2.2.24a
works fine for me on 2000/XP)

Now this is interesting. MSDN says the following about
SHGetSpecialFolderPath:
"Minimum operating systems Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with
Internet Explorer 4.0, Windows 98, Windows 95 with Internet
Explorer 4.0"

So it should be available unless MSDN is flawed.

I can see SHGetSpecialFolderPathW in my Win2k SHELL.dll
(2005-04-21) but not my NT4 SHELL.dll (2001-07-16). Would
it be possible to try a run-time link and just disable the
new feature if the link fails ?

To clarify my previous post: The problem occurs in 2.2.24
only.

Thanks,

Steven

Using 2.2.24b-rc1 I get :
The procedure entry point SHGetFolderPathW could not
be located in the dynamic link library SHELL32.dll

Thanks,

Ok, this looks like I have to search and load this function
dynamically from the DLLs.

Hi Tim,

2.2.24b-rc2 seems fine.

Thanks,

Steven
