Topic: Entry Point Not Found

When attempting to run Simply Fortran, I receive the following error message.

  The procedure entry point sqlite3_finalize could not be located in the dynamic
   link library sqlite3.dll

Re: Entry Point Not Found

What version of Simply Fortran have you installed?

If you navigate to the following folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Simply Fortran\fwin

does the file sqlite3.dll exist?  Could you post the size of the file?

The installer may have failed to install the file properly, I suppose.  Let us know what you find out.

Re: Entry Point Not Found

The size of the file is 554 KB
I loaded Simply Fortran 1.45 yesterday.
I tried installing SF in May or June and had the same problem
so removed old software before loading new.
It is on a HP 120-1123w running Windows 7

Re: Entry Point Not Found

My first guess is that your system has another file named sqlite3.dll somewhere in a system directory that Simply Fortran is mistakenly loading.  While the name sqlite3.dll is far too ambiguous (apparently), whatever software installed the DLL in the system directory should not have done so in the first place.

Check in C:\Windows\System32 to see if there is a file named sqlite3.dll, and try renaming it and starting Simply Fortran.  The file is not part of Windows, but, rather, some other software.
