UNZIP32.DLL conflict

[scoot]

Hi, i am running a 3rd party extension on top of ArcGIS
this extension and cad2shp BOTH use a dll called unzip32.dll
the other tool doesn't work because of a conflict with the cad2shp, unzip32.dll

what can you do with dll's when trying to sort these conflicts out
is it ok to register, unregister them change there names etc. is there a usefule website that you could point me to?
i don't mind hacking a bit but i don't really want to reinstall and go thru registration of software again

the cad2shp folder has 3 unzip32.dll
are all of these needed?


cheers

Hi Scoot,

CAD2Shape installs unzip32.dll in the CAD2Shape installation folder. (There definitely should not be 3 unzip32.dll in the same folder. The current shipped unzip32.dll has a file size of 143,360 bytes.)

CAD2Shape's unzip32.dll is purposely placed in the CAD2Shape installation folder so that it is only used by CAD2Shape. So I would suggest to make sure that you do not have any other software installed in the same folder as CAD2Shape, which is the only condition I can think of where the other software would try to use CAD2Shape's unzip32.dll.

The unzip32.dll is an old style dll and should not be registered (I am not even sure if it is possible to register this type of DLL.)

best regards,
