Hello,

I have a TSP (based on Julmar) which installs and works fine on many windows
platforms. However, on 2008, it does not install. MS Dependeny Walker
complains: TSP7.TSP; No DOS signature found. This file is not a valid Win32
module.

Does that mean that .tsp files must be digitally signed to be installed on
2008?
Has anyone done this? Any poniters?

Tx, Christoph

Christoph,

TSPs don't need to be signed. DOS signature does not
refer to a digital signature but instead to the dll header.

It seems as if the TSP (which is actually a dll) might be corrupted.

Is this a 32 or 64bit OS?

Best regards,

Matthias Moetje

Hi Matthias,

I would recheck the TSP file if it might be corrupted!

Hi Matthias,

it is not corrupt and in fact the TSP works on some x64 platforms and does
not on others. I even have win2008 server systems that do and others that
do not work. I currently do assume that it has to with signing as currently
neither my .tsp nor my .msi is signed. I will fix hat eventually and let
everybode know.

However, I have another problem. My TSP is using the Julmar debugging
scheme which ultimately writes into log files. The TSP however does not
create nor write any files (although it otherwise works fine). The config
dialog UI (using the exactly same code) does write the files as excpected,
so I think it is due to the fact the TSP runs in a system context. Is that
a known issue that a TSP can't access the file system? I have of course
set all directory access permissions to r/w for everybody.

This sounds like a dependency problem. Maybe on some servers a DLL,
which is needed by the TSP, is missing (e.g. VC runtime dlls)

You can use "dependency walker" to check the DLL dependencies of the
TSP. (ignore warnings about IESHIMS.DLL and WER.DLL)

Klaus
