Cannot initialize API client C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker8\fminit\hellowho.dll

[_thaivnguyen_]

Hello,

I used FDK9 and FrameMaker 8. I used Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and Microsoft SDKs to compiled sample FDK hellowho.c program, This program locate under FDK directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\FDK9\samples\hellowho. It complied fine without error or warning message. I registered the hellowho.dll to fminit directory and added the hellowho=Standard,Greets user with custom greeting defined at startup,fminit\hellowho.dll, all to file maker.ini under FrameMaker directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker8. I got error message below when open FrameMaker:

"Cannot initialize API client C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker8\fminit\hellowho.dll
Check your errors in the APIClients section of C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker8\maker.ini, verify that the client program exists and make you sure you have enough swap space to run the client."

Any idea?

Thank you.

Hi Thai ,
There are 2 issues regarding your problem statement

1)FDK9 is compiled using VC2005 and you are using VC2008 which may lead to issues which you are facing. If possible you may want to verify this by using VC2005

2)If the problem persists after doing step 1, you can try using FDK8 to compile and see if it works fine.

Thanks
