dblgen11.dll issue

[Former Member]

We are installing our software on a system that only has SQL Anywhere 12 installed (it's a virtual box).

When I kick off our database update process after the software instalation I get a message that the language file dblgen11.dll is not found.

The version I have of the dll is 12/20 and I placed it in our add-on software's folders, bin32 and bin64 in the SQL Anywhere 12 directory.

I get the error each time.

Why would the installation be looking for the version 11 dll when the version 12 dll is present?

I hope someone has some suggestions. Thanks!

Is the database being upgraded from 11 to 12?

What client library is being used, and what versions are the deployed files (i.e. 12.0.1.3817)?

If the application is using a version 11 client library, it will be looking for the version 11 dlls, i.e. dbcon11.dll, dbodbc11.dll, dblgen11.dll, etc.

The database was created pre-11. One thing I just tried was placing the dblgen12.dll in the same install folder and I did not encounter the this time. I'm wondering if that solved the problem. I guess we'll see if DEV thinks the same. Thanks for the quick reply 🙂

How are you installing SQL Anywere 12? Are you using the standard setup or your own deployment?

When I kick off our database update process after the software instalation I get a message that the language file dblgen11.dll is not found.

I would guess that this process is coded against the SQL Anywhere 11 client library and still requires this DLL. Which language/client API was the "database update process" written with?
