Shell32.dll help please?
-
I have written my own front-end for a car-pc project, I was using a dll called use UltraID3Lib.dll to retrieve info on mp3 files, eg. title, artist etc. UltraID3Lib.dll doesn't work on id3v2.2 and 2.4 tags, so I re-coded my front-end to use .GetDetailsOf from Shell32.dll Anyway, after re-coding the mp3 reading part of my front-end, it works fine on my desktop computer, but when using it in my van, it crashes when it gets to a part of the program where it uses shell32.dll. When I checked the version of shell32.dll on my desktop compared to the computer in the van, they are slightly different. My desktop computer is version 6.0.2900.3241 whereas the version in the van is slightly earlier, something like 6.0.2900.30xx. Is this the reason for it not working, and if so, how do I update shell32.dll? I tried copying over the version in the van, but XP won't let you as it is being used elsewhere in the system. I also did a Windows update, but this didn't work either. Any help would be greatefully recieved

Ok, I have more info about my problem. In the van, if I right click on an mp3 file and then select properties, summary, advanced, there is no infomation in there about the artist, track title, year, sample rate etc. that my desktop PC shows. Why is this and what can I do to solve it. I think if I can solve this, my VB program should work fine.

Does the van pc have SP2 ? Perhaps that will update it ? Sounds like a cool project, BTW.

Yes, SP2 is installed on it. As I mentioned, when right clicking an mp3 file on my desktop computer and clicking the Summary tab, I get all the infomation about the mp3 file. This does not happen in my van. It is a strange one. The only difference between my desktop computer and the one in the van is that the desktop computer is Windows XP home with SP2 and relevent updates and the one in the van is XP Professional N with SP2. Maybe I will have to reinstall a different version on XP on it. Oh, and Christian, if you want to see my project, have a look at this link... http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show-off-your-project/116423-volkswagen-transporter-t5-pimping.html[^]
