PLEASE NOTE:
The version of VerChk is also compatible with only certain versions of the
Driver and DLL. The links on this page go to the most recent version which is compatible
with the most recent versions of the DLL and Driver or any versions later than 7-18-2003.
Other versions are located within the archive of each download and is most useful in making
sure that the driver that is loaded on your system corresponds to the correct DLL which
is usually placed in the same directory as the "VerChk.exe" utility.
Another "generic" version check is built into the DLL and creates a file called
"LL_USBLoad.txt" which has contents describing certain errors. Here is an example
of what the contents of that file may look like:
This DLL compilation date/time: Aug 20 2003, 15:55:17
This DLL version: 8,21,2003,0
The following driver was found, but it's the wrong version:
"C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\LL_USB2k.sys"
Expected device driver version for this DLL: 8,21,2003,0
Device driver version on your system: 2,13,2004,0
If the "LL_USBLoad.txt" file is created, it will also be deleted the first time that
the DLL loads without a Driver/DLL compatibility problem.
DESCRIPTION
VerChk is designed to check compatibility between our USB
Device Driver and DLL that you are using. Compatibility issues
can occur if a new DLL is used without updating the driver.
Also occassionally a DLL or Driver will be placed in a
particular directory which has dominance in the search path
and even though a new driver and DLL are placed in the recom-
mended directories, they won't be used by the operating system
since the other copies in "first search" directories are
present.
USAGE
Copy VerChk.exe into same directory as application and DLL.
Note that the DLL should always be located in the application
directory.
VerChk will scan disks and system memory for copies of DLL
and system driver. It will interrogate the DLL in the current directory
to find out which version of the driver it is expecting to run. It will
also check to see if the copy of the driver loaded in memory is the
same version as the copy that is located on the disk. A mismatch
of the memory and disk version can occur if a driver is copied to the
appropriate directory, but all devices are not then disconnected and
reconnected, allowing the new driver to load into memory. It is always
recommended that you reboot your computer after copying a new
version of the driver to the appropriate directory as recommended
in the installation documentation. When a new driver is installed by
the operating system it will automatically unload the old driver from
memory and load the new one, or advice you to reboot.
VerChk also gives you the opportunity to display a listing of all the
copies of the DLL and driver on your system's disk drives. VerChk
will also give you the option for it to delete from your drives all copies
of the DLL and driver except the copy of the DLL located in the current
directory and the copy of the driver located in the appropriate system32
directory.
