8.01 32 bit install fail

[ianl8888]

This is the first time an "install fail" has happened to me with TC updates

Win2000, update from 756a to 8.01 (32 bit). Updating out of TC

Install seems to work OK, but when I click on the TC icon to start it, the message

"The dynamic link library kernel32 could not be found in the specified path"

My path is extensive and has not changed for a very long time

So what gives, please ?

It sounds like TC is trying to load a function from kernel32 which is missing on Windows 2000. I will check that. You should go back to 7.56a for the moment.

Thank you for the reply. This is what I suspected too. I hope you can find the problem - TC is a MUST for both my PC and Win Mobile ... it has become an absolute base requirement, it is that good

Confirmed. Not only install fail. Totalcmd.exe also can't start whith same error on Windows 2000 SP4.

Here the same:
Windows 2000 SP4
After starting the message: Cannot find DLL-file kernel32 in path C:\Program Files\TotalCmd\80; C:\WINNT\system32; etc.

When checking with Dependency Walker: It cannot find Kernel32 bit it can find Kernel32.dll (with extension)
It is looking in kernel32 for function TzSpecificLocalTimeToSystemTime, but that is a Windows XP + function. ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms725485%28v=VS.85%29.aspx )

"It is looking in kernel32 for function TzSpecificLocalTimeToSystemTime, but that is a Windows XP + function"

OK, there's the problem ... thanks

Beta 2 will load the function dynamically. By default , it's used on Windows 7 only anyway.

Beta 2 installs OK in Win2000, Sep 24

Great, thanks for reporting it!
