creating a dll for XP/NT/2000

[Dave]

I am trying to create a dll project and targeting XP, NT, and 2000.
In my current project setup, the software calling my dll has no
problems under XP. Under 2000 and NT, whenever a call to the dll is
made, I see a "Can't find file mydll.dll". I've made copies of the
dll and put it all over the place on the computer (system32, directory
that calling software is in, etc.) I can't register it either.
Despite being able to see the file, the registering command also
return something like a "file not found" message. Any clues as to
what is going on?

Thanks for the help,

This group covers standard C++, so unfortunately the closest answer
that's not off topic is this:

Seriously, post to a Windows group.

The only thing you need to do is either put your dll with your application
in same directory or put it in system32 if your dll is correct. So you need
to check it out. Accordind your post ,the problem seem the function didn't
be exported
