(Perface appology: I posted this in ObjectBar first, sorry, newbe...)
I recently bought the WB suite, and have been happily customizing the $417 out of my desktop! But I just tried to make a Object Dock entry to launch my ACAD package and I keep getting errors.
Specifically, ACAD displays an error dialog stating that it cannot find some of its .dll files. (I searched the system, and the files are installed. Futhermore, the package starts fine using the standard Windoze shortcut...)
The only difference I can find between the OD entry and the Win shortcut is that the shortcut has an advanced option button (on Shortcut tab of the properties dialog) that displays a secondary dialog with a "run in seperate memory space" checkbox that is checked; the OD properties dialog doesn't provide this option. All of the other properties information is identical between the two.
The .dlls ACAD is complaining about are all located in a shared directory (c:\program files\common files\autodesk shared). I could (probably) get the package to load if I moved the files to the c:\windows\system32 folder, but since that's not the standard ACAD install, I'm loath to do it (likewise to make a second copy of the files, as there are several dozen, and they are LARGE...)
Any ideas?
