I had two projectors created with dir 7 working just fine. Updated to dir
7.02. Created new projectors of the same files. Now they will not work,
asking for the shockwave player (and I have NOT created the projectors with
that option). I've read the technote about msvcrt.dll and msvfw32.dll and
this is not the problem. So what is going on?! My client needs a projector
tomorrow. If anyone had any clue please let me know!

Try copying

dirapi.dll
lml32.dll
msvcrt.dll

into your executable directory

Already there. I have a school version of dir 8, seems to be running fine
when resaving the dirfiles as v8 files, and creating a projector from there.
But it still is not what I want.

Sorry to say I've tried this as well. It does not fix the problem.
Thanks anyway.

Maybe try diffrent way...

Create a Projector as Shockwave player

make directory "Xtras" in ur projector dir and put all necessary xtras there
then put

dirapi.dll
lml32.dll
msvcrt.dll
proj.dll <<< this one only under D8

into projector directory
if u still get some "no shockwave" error then maybe u r missing some
importnant xtra or something.
To findout just try copying xtras from "Xtras" directory from Director dir
into "xtras"
directory in ur projector dir.

mhmm, much dirs in here i guess :)

What I want is a projector that does NOT require shockwave. I've
constructed two projectors that I thought were just fine, but my client said
they asked for shockwave. So I uninstalled shockwave on my computer, and
sure he was right. The projectors require shockwave, even though they
should be standard stand alone projectors. As soon as the shockwave
installed there is no problem, but that is not what I want. My client
earlier received basically the same files (only some minor changes)
constructed with dir7, which works just fine.

Thank You for all your help. I think I found the fault. One dll reciding
with director 7 belongs to director 8. I will reinstall and update
tomorrow. Hopefully that will be the last of this matter.

Thanks again.
