Issue
When attempting to start the application, the error message below is displayed.
The program could not start because QTCor4.DLL is missing
Cause
- The custom shell does not include the PATH variable created on installation.
- The files are overwritten by software that uses similar file names.
Resolution
COPYTOSYSTEM32=TRUE
This installs a copy of the software token library, stauto32.dll, and its dependent DLLs (QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll) into the system32 directory. It does not add the application path to the system PATH environment variable, because the application will find stauto32.dll in the system32 directory.
You may want to use this option if adding the application path to the System path causes the System path to exceed the Windows length limit.
