See > http://mindprod.com/jgloss/runerrormessages.html#UNSATISFIEDLINKERROR Something really critical for me to know here is whether it is indeed possible for a Java program to link with a DLL in a cab file. I'm not even positive I have the right file so I'd like to be sure that linking to the DLL is possible in the first place, particularly when it is within a cab file. Perhaps I need to copy it from the cab file into a directory? Or can Java 'see' DLLs in a cab file the same way it can read class files in a jar? I'm running Windows XP SP2. -- Rhino
