Unable to launch

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I installed PC client components 15.0 of the Sybase Adaptive Server 
Enterprise. This effectively installed 1)interactive sql, 2)open client 
configuration utility,  3)open client directory service editor and 4)sybase 
central v4.3 on my PC.
2. I then installed 'ASE ISQL'
3. I ran the copylibs.bat file in the folder C:\sybase\OCS-15_0\scripts, 
with parameter 'create'. The information generated include five messages of 
"1 file(s) copied." and two messages of "The system cannot find the file 
specified".
4. As I launch 'ASE ISQL' from the Start menu, two error messages were 
shown:
1) "The procedure entry point ct_ds_objinfo could not be located in the 
dynamic link library libct.dll."
2) "System error #14 has occurred: Error opening DLL library syb_exec.dll 
for external function at line 20 in function of_options of object 
n_config_ase. Object: n_config_ase; Script: of_options; Line: 20. Do you 
want to continue?"


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows XP for ASE ISQL, Windows XP for the sybase central v4.3, UNIX for 
sybase ASE v 15.

Please provide any additional information below.
I appreciate your reply!

check that you have in the path only one version of libct.dll
if you can access Info tab page of the logon dialog,
 check the path of the libct.dll there

Thanks for your reply. Could you which path I should check? I did a search for 
libct.dll and found three libct.dll files which are all in unrelated folders. 
Could you 
also tell me which Info tab and logon diaglog are you referring to?

Sorry if I am asking for something obvious, I am a little new to this.

Normally, you should have only one installation of the sybase client.
And only one libct.dll should be in your path environtment variable.

One of the articles about environment variables:
http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment.htm
--
You have to remove old sybase client installations, or put path to current 
sybase
libraries at first position in your path environment variable.

I used the libct.dll file from the higher version to replace the older one in 
system32, and I managed to launch the application successfully. However, when I 
tried 
to establish a connection, the server list under the connection tab is empty. 
Can you 
tell what I should do to find my server list? Under the Information tab, I have 
Sybase: C:\sybase, and libct.dll: c:\windows\system32\libct.dll

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!

Hi,
I have also received same issue as stated above and could solve it by adding some dll files in Sybase/OCt_15_0_dll folder. Use dependency walker (a free tool) to get list of dll files that syb_exec.dll needs and then search if you have those files. If not then copy those files from Google or other location.
I was missing libct.dll and libcs.dll, once I copies these files I could access DB using ASE iSQL.
