Issues with PHP 5 on Windows 98

Hi, I try do get PHP 5.0 running on a fresh Windows 98 box. Unfortunately there are some issues with some missing dlls. I was able to sort most of them out (e.g. missing ODBC32.dll), but there is at least one that I'm unable to fix. PHP (php5ts.dll) complains about a missing OLEAUT32.DLL export, but there's one OLEAUT32.DLL in the Windows directory and even if I add one from my Windows 2000 to the PHP directory, it doesn't help. Does anybody know who I can fix that? Thanks for help. A.

HI Andreas Why are you using Windows 98.. it's full of holes and has been superseded? I know their has been some discussion on internals about dropping win98 support - see "Win9x support in PHP" for more. Cheers James On 9/27/05, Andreas Ahlenstorf <lists@ahlenstorf.ch> wrote:

For myself, I'm using a brand new G5 from that fruit company in California, running that shiny and blinking os (I really love it and I would never switch back). But we have to deliver a software. Requirement is Windows 98 and higher - and I've to meet that. And it's a question of... erm... let's say it conservative, up to 50'000 PHP installations. Regards, A.
