twapi extension in Windows XP Embedded



Hello everybody,

I've very little exerience working with Windows XP, let alone with embedded. I've spent much time putting together a special build of TCL (with threads enabled), adding the thread extension, the twapi entension and some other things for my environment. I've been able to make a zip file of the install directory for this special build of TCL and when using Win 2k or XP I've been able to simply unpack the *.zip file to the C: drive and everything works.

From the command prompt I do:

bin\tclsh84 (from the directory where TCL is installed)

then I can do

package require twapi
package require Thread
etc......

And use all the pacakges and scripts that I've written as though I'd actually built the implementation on that box. This mornning copied over my *.zip file to a box using Windows XP embedded unpacked the *.zip file and can load everything except the twapi extension. It promptly crashes and burns trying to load twapi.dll. Does anyone in here know if Windows XP somehow disallows the loading of dll's? Is there some settering I can use to make it work?

Thanks
