OpenCOM Frequently Asked Questions
1. When trying to run the OpenCOM demo programs VC7 outputted the following error: "Cannot open type library file: 'Bin/Calculator.tlb': No such file or directory."
This is caused by an inconsistency with VC7 i.e. it only occurs in some setups. To address the problem: Remove the "Bin/" from the offending statement e.g. to "Calculator.tlb" and then set your INCLUDE path to point to the OpenCOM bin directory. You can do this in VC7 through "Tools->Options->Projects->VC++ Directories->Include files".
2. Which platforms are stable, which are in development.
The Win32 C++ version of OpenCOM is the final version and development of this platform is complete. Work is continuing on the Java version, we may add new features and/or improve the programming model for error capture at a later date. New versions of OpenCOMJ will be listed on the web site along with the previous versions. We are also developing OpenCOMv2; this is available from the NetKit project page and further information can be requested from Jo Ueyama.
