Hi Alex,

I am really excited about the release of your new SDK at Code Laboratories, this will mean so much to many people.

I have installed both the new CL-Eye-Driver-4.0.0.1223 and CL-Eye-Platform-SDK-1.0.0.1229 on the Latest version of Windows 7 x86. I am happy to report that both the CLEye Test and the CLEyeMulticamTest work perfectly without any problems.

However when I try install on Windows XP x86 the CLEye Test program works, but the CLEyeMulticamTest programs will not work. I keep getting the error “The procedure entry point GetThreadId could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll”.
Attached is a screenshot of the error.

I am no expert in programming and I was trying to locate some information on the problem before contacting you….I noticed at the Windows Dev Center that the “GetThreadId” function was only supported by Windows Vista and Higher. Here is the link:
MSDN Library

I am not sure exactly if this has anything to do with the problem ( maybe it is my XP Setup) but I thought it might help you in some way. I have tried Installation on 2 fully updated Windows XP X86 machines with no success.

Thanks for your help,
Alan

Gunning,

Thank you for the information. Good catch… Lol… No wonder, even Microsoft doesn’t want to support XP anymore.
In any case, this error due to GetThreadId() function use in the C++ Multicam sample.
I used it to randomize srand even more since it has to be called per thread instance.
Take a look at the file CLEyeMulticamTest.cpp on the line 96 and simply change it from this:
  srand(GetTickCount()+GetThreadId(GetCurrentThread()));
to this:
  srand(GetTickCount());

Recompile the program and should work fine on your XP system.
