I've requested to change the error to a warning instead in the post, but was shot down. if that Common.dll file is only valid for 64bit windows builds, perhaps the better thing to do is to wrap the $linklib line in a check to see if you are building 64bit... if 64bit then loadlib otherwise, noop... seems logical at first glance but the question then is if one can determine the bitness of the current build in progress... -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval. *Please keep mailing list traffic on the list where it belongs!* ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel

The original code had about 10 more function calls and then a closing end for the "with WideStringManager do begin " oh! that would explain it :lol: -- NOTE: No off-list assistance is given without prior approval. *Please keep mailing list traffic on the list where it belongs!* ___ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
