I've tried to install FeedReader on a friend's computer, and it installs but then won't start, saying "gds32.dll" is missing.

The FeedReader help forum has no answer that explains/fixes it.

My own computer has been running FeedReader for years and I checked -- I don't have a "gds32.dll" either, according to my search results.

Any ideas?

Or... any ideas for other news/rss readers that aren't full of malware and are decent?

Thanks!

Lynne

Did you remove it and download a fresh copy to reinstall?

I did, several times. I also tried installing over the net, then downloading the zip file and installing from there. I also looked IN the zip file and the gds32.dll is not in there, so I'm assuming this is a windows file??? Don't know. It's installed on her computer -- it just won't run.

Night before last, I copied my own (working just fine) FeedReader directory from my own computer onto a thumb drive, and copied that onto her computer -- and it still failed the same way.

I'm totally confused...

Go to

http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=fi...p;id=engine_212

and download file:

Firebird-2.1.2.18118-0_Win32_embed.zip

from there. unpack this file to feedreader folder. Also delete fbclient.dll and rename fbembeded.dll to fbclient.dll.

After this application should run.
