rename enhancer

#1 08-22-2008, 06:02 PM

Has anyone run successfully the rename enhancer (reen_088.zip at Hobbes)?
It installs without complaint, but the executable ReEn.EXE does not run:
Something happens briefly as it tries to load, the icon gets shaded for a
second, then it's back to its resting state. No popup or error message,
whether from the WPS or from a command line.

I just downloaded and installed it to eCS 2.0 rc5 and it installs and
executes without any problems.

Yes, but not terribly explicit to me:

VROBJ.DLL 0002:00017c94

I have two versions, from 1995 at 900,545 bytes, and from 2005 at 901,857
bytes, but without any obvious version number. Both give very similar
dumps.

What's the date and size of your vrobj.dll? Did you get it specifically
for this?

Thanks,
