Sqlyog 5 And Windows 98 (i Know….)

[Hugues]

Simply to say that SQLY?og 5 does not seem to work on Win98 (I have an old laptop that I use when I go on tech runs which is running 98…). Any plans on supporting it? If not, that's all right, I'll stick to 4.1

This is very strange. We have tested 5.0 in Win98 and it works great.

What is the error that you are getting?

I have the same problem. Just nothing hapens. I double click on icon and nothing. The SQLYog 5 didn´t start. The version 4.07 works fine, but 5 not.

My operational system is Windows 98SE.

Thanks in advance and sorry about mistakes in my english

@ritesh

could it be a localsation issue?

The folder name 'Program Files' is translated in localised Windows versions for instance. In Danish is is 'Programmer'. The symbolic '%Programs%' is substituted with the real name and should be used. But you probably know!

I suspect that something went wrong when you coded the ability to write to 'Documents and Settings' (that for some strange reason is NOT localized!). If neither 'Program Files' nor 'Documents and Settings' exist then it could fail to read ini file, if it is hardcoded that way. And 'Program Files' does not exist in localised Windows and 'Documents and Settings' not in W98. But I have no W98 to test with.

Just my guess that it is something like this <_<

BTW: doesn't Windows exist in Hindi and Tamil and the other 200 languages of India? There should be lots of chances to test, even if it only exists in 20 of them!

I just have tried to install in c:program filesSQLYog but the problem remain.

Thanks for your help

Indian boys should be sleeping now!

Let them look into it tomorrow!

There also was a problem with some of the beta's and the rc's that the help file did not launch. It could be the same problem.

Same thing as above. Simply doesn't show up. It doesn't hang either as it is not in the “task manager” (which I agree is not very advanced in Win98).

As I asked in another thread, can you post a screenshot of your SQLyog installation folder?

I would like to know the files that get copied while installation.

This is strange. Even gdiplus.dll is copied. I thought it will be an issue with gdiplus.dll not getting copied correctly. I think I will have to take a look into it from a different angle.

SQLyog 5.01 BETA fixed this issue. Can you confirm the fix?

We plan to release v5.01 next week and we like to have the bug-fix confirmed.
