Re: TclApp | DLL | CGI - permissions?

Anyway, I'd assume the problem is related to the handling of the dll file itself. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about how an internal DLL file is handled by a wrapped application. I *think* it's copied to a temp folder somewhere for access by the application (which I'd guess is the failure point), though I'm not sure. Assuming that's the case, can I control *where* the DLL is stored? Presumably, I'd want that located parallel to the wrapped exe itself, (which is in the "cgi-bin" folder), as I have permissions there.

Any suggestions for debugging and/or fixing this?

The DLL is stored in a path derived from the Win32 core APIs GetTempPath and GetTempFileName. See their docs on how that is manipulated.

An error should bubble up if that can't be loaded properly. I'm not sure why you shouldn't be able to capture that - it shouldn't fail silently.
