ActiveX DLL fails on some systems, or after OS update #75

Closed GCuser99 closed 1 year ago

GCuser99 commented 1 year ago

There is a known issue with the version of twinBasic that was used to compile the DLL for SeleniumVBA v3.6 where the DLL may fail on some computer systems, or after a Windows OS update. The DLL needs to be re-compiled with latest version of twinBasic.

A cautionary note - if you installed the v3.6 or earlier version of the DLL prior to 3/16/23, it is recommended to do the following immediately:

Go to the DLL install folder and click on unins00.exe to uninstall. Then download the latest SeleniumVBADLLSetup.exe to reinstall.

The problem is that the twinBasic compiler had a bug that may cause the DLL to crash if used on a different system than the system it was compiled on, or when used after a Windows update. That compiler bug is fixed, and the DLL has been recompiled.
