I made the changes you suggested and the file names a displaying with the message box. I'm still getting the same error. It can't seem locate any but the first file name.

Anton said soemthing about it needing to be packed. I don't know how to do that in VB.

The file name is null terminated but still padded out to the 260 characters with spaces. Does that have anything to do with it?

1) Did you declare arrary of DAO_DISC_LAYOUT_ENTRY or it's still one as it was before?

2) Can you report sizeof( DAO_DISC_LAYOUT_ENTRY) and whole resulting structure in your VB code at run time?

And how many files you have to be displayed? Two or only one?

ps. Which compiler do you using? My VB 6.0 tells that there is undefined types. But .NET 2003 compiler shows a lot of compiling errors:

Code:

I'm using VB 6.

VB 6 does not have a sizeof() function so I used lenb which reports the number of bytes an object takes up in memory. I found that even though I had the string declard as string * max_path, lenb reported it was 540 (apparently it is unicode related). I changed the declare from a string to a byte array.

Now I get a return code 2 from StarBurn. I did a len of the dao_disk_layout before my call to StarBurn and I got 27404 which I think is correct. However, when I did a lenb to get the amount of memory taken up I got 27605. I don't know what would cause the extra 200 bytes. Could that be the problem?

Yes! Wrong sizes and member fields bad relative align is definitely a source of the problem you're having... :-(

Do you have any ideas on how to fix it?

Yes, I have some ideas, but to check them I need to install other installation of VB 6.0 (my VB 6.0 with SP5 does not work normally with your project). And then I will check the code.

I've got an idea myself. I just want to verify that StarBurn is expecting a structure of 27404 bytes in length. Is that correct? That would be for the DAO_DISC_LAYOUT

Yes, 274*100 + 4 =27404.

I just checked and I am running with VB 6 SP 6. I don't know if that helps or not.

I got it working. I actually got a gapless audio cd created. I couldn't have done it with your help.

I've still got a lot to work on but this is a major step for me.

Thanks

WOW! Congratulations! :-)

You've made my day!

...and we're always happy to help our customers. Even potential and freeware ones :-)

I just downloaded the 4.7.3 version (I had been using the beta). I noticed that the file msvcr70d.dll is not in the issuance as it had been earlier. Is that no longer needed?

anton (staff) · **Posted:** Thu Nov 18, 2004 4:10 am

No! We're switched completely to MS IFS Kit/DDK as the only core build system so now no VC 7.0 RTL files are needed. Rest of the companies have every next SDK version build LARGER then previous one and we've rolled back from around 3 megabyes to 2.5 megabytes of compressed installation :-)
