Msvcr80.dll then Runtime errors...

(1/6) > >>

deazo:

  Hi all,

 After updating to the latest version I am getting a few problems and can't open my database anymore.
 
 First I received a MSVCR80.dll error so I searched this forum and found a post on the problem. I more or less followed the instructions in that post. I downloaded that .dll file and put it in the System32 folder.
 A new error came up, a C++ Runtime error, the same Raldo was getting. So I did what Raldo did and created a "fake" videodb.exe.manifest file in the pvd directory.
 I have also completely uninstalled pvd (removed settings as well) and now pvd opens, but does not want to load my database.
 When trying to open it I receive an error message and my database file is automatically modified with the added ".old" extension.

 I am now lost and thinking of using the last pvd version (I don't want to!).
 I am attaching a debug report.
 Can u help?

Thanks!

Have you used Firebird 2.1 before? If so then you will need to replace the fbembeded and fbclient files with those from Firebird 2.1 package.

 OK I have replaced firebirds files in the pvd folder but I am now getting a SQL error when trying to open my database...
 
 error code =-206

 What should I try?
 
  Could I modify the database file instead of modifying the pvd folders, so that I don't have to go through this every time I update pvd   version?

What version of Firebird do you use? I used to use PVD v0.9.9.14 without any Firebird, then after a while I installed Firebird v2.5, had no problem. Then, I updated PVD to v0.9.9.16 and had no problem, and still don't?

 I am not using any version of firebird actually.
 Here is the story in short: A few months ago I wanted to try out using the the pvdimport plugin with J river MC, so I followed all instructions, installed firebird and so on, only to find out that in my configuration, no matter what I was trying the plugin was not working, so I gave up on this.
 I then realized I did not need firebird and removed it from my system, only to find out that now my database needed firebird services to run if I wanted to access it. I really wanted to get rid of firebird services as they were a waste of resources and i did not need them.
 So Nostra addressed my problem and after a few posting here he gave me the solution, put the 2.1 firebird files in my pvd directory.
 This worked perfectly and i could finally open my database without Firebird.
 Now with this new version of PVD it looks like the solution does not sort my problem (I'm getting an SQL error when opening my file) so that's why I am asking for help.

 (While asking for help I am also wondering if I could not change the database file itself in order to have it run without worrying about firebird files. That would avoid running into the same problem once I upgrade again pvd)

 Another solution would maybe to find a way to import my current database into another one, but I don't know if that can be done.

 I'm stuck basically...

Thanks for the assistance.
