I wrote a script and compiled it. Put it in the user's startup folder and every time it starts, the error, "You are attemping to open a file of type 'Application Extension' (.DLL). If I don't do anything when the error comes up, it works anyway, but the box with the error remains. I do have a wbdmb44i.dll that appeared in that same folder when I first ran the .exe.

Please provide some of the following specifics:


  • WinBatch Version
  • Windows Version
  • Compiler option used ( large or small EXE )
  • path where the script was placed in Windows

Winbatch version 2013b
Windows XP
Compiler - large
c:\documents and settings\zminnie\start menu\programs\startup

At one point I was running it from c:\jcpl in the registry RUN key. That didn't work either.

Thanks.

Put it somewhere else. Make a shortcut to it, and only have this shortcut in the Startup folder.... that should launch the exe on startup and not try to run the dll

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. :)
