What does the message "Try to load another SCommCom.dll" mean?

FAQ #100317

 

Symptom
When doubleclicking a PG5 program file the following window appears:
§ix100185§

 

Reason
The reason for this behaviour is that Windows tries to launch the editor (e.g. SEDIT32.exe for editing IL files) that belongs to a different PG5 version. Windows "remembers" the editor of the PG5 that was installed first. So if you updated from PG5 1.2 to PG5 1.3 you'll most likely be faced with the problem mentioned.

Solution
The default application for opening a file of a specific type can be defined as following:

1. Open the Windows Explorer

2. In the menu "Tools" select "Folder options..."

3. In the window "Folder Options" select the tab "File types"

4. Choose the PG5 program file extension you want to open by doubleclicking (SRC, FUP, SFC...)

5. In the field "Details for <filetype> extension" click the button "Change..."

6. In the window "Open With" click the button "Other..."

7. Browse to the actual PG5 installation directory (default is C:\Program Files\SAIA-Burgess\PG5 1.x) and select the required application (by clicking "Open")

8. Close the opened windows (press "OK" or "Close")

Below a small list that indicates the editors needed for editing the program files:

Extension	File type	Editor
SRC	Instruction List file	sedit32.exe
FUP	Fupla file	sfup32.exe
SFC	Graftec file	sgraf32.exe
5PJ, 5PC	PG5 Project file and CPU file	spm.exe

 

 

 

Important Note
It is recommended opening the program files that belong to a project directly from the Project Tree of the PG5 Project Manager. This way the link between the ressources an the program files etc. is guaranteed.
If the files are opened from the Windows explorer, you can not be sure that after a change of a ressource this change applies also to the symbol in the Symbol Editor!
