--- Quote from: Der Meister on November 22, 2005, 12:51:19 pm ---The msdn-page for this function says the following:

--- Quote ---Minimum operating systems
Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 5.0, Windows 98 with Internet Explorer 5.0, Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), Windows NT 4.0 with Internet Explorer 5.0, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4 (SP4)
--- End quote ---
That means, it should also work on Win9x if you install the Internet Explorer 5.0 or any newer version (and that should be no problem).

--- End quote ---

--- Quote from: MSDN ---Remarks

This function is a superset of SHGetSpecialFolderPath, included with earlier versions of the Shell. On systems preceeding those including Shell32.dll version 5.0 (Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) and Windows 2000), SHGetFolderPath was obtained through SHFolder.dll, distributed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later versions. SHFolder.dll always calls the current platform's version of this function. If that fails, it will try to simulate the appropriate behavior. SHFolder.dll continues to be included for backward compatibility, though the function is now implemented in Shell32.dll.

Note  On older systems that require the redistributable SHFolder.dll, you must explicitly link to SHFolder.lib before you link to Shell32.lib.

Means you have to link to SHFolder.lib before Shell32.lib if the binary is also for W98.

Yes, but Firefox does not matter at all. What matters is Internet Explorer because it is a part of Windows.
It is of course always a problem to tell what is wrong especially on Windows systems where each and every program you install replaces a couple of dlls without telling you, and even Microsoft does not seem to know what is right sometimes.
All I can say is that two of us test on pristine installs of Windows98 systems with IE6, and it works. Maybe downloading a fresh copy of that dll will fix the problem.

--- End quote ---
Yes indeed, but I ignored that point because it makes no sense. RC2 is the most recent binary release. So what non-working binary release do you refer to, if RC2 is fine?

Since the topic would seem to indicate this thread is addressed to "CVS Binary builders", I would assume Revy means the latest builds by Ceniza and whoever the other person was that provided CVS binaries. (Sorry, forgot the name)

Ah, that slipped through my sight ;)
