Works on 64bit doesn't on 32 bit

[daniel_dm]

Hi everyone,
i'm developing with qt by 6 months.
i've just developed a dll under windows using qt creator 2.7.0 with qt 5.02 compiling with MinGW 4.7 32bit and then i link it in vb.net project with a wrapper made in c#.
The library use stcall to face the functions to the wrapper and my application goes fine on 64bit operating system (windows 7 and windows 8 tested)
if i run my application under windows xp 32bit operating systems i receive the following error:


System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'QTRender.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
at dmg.renderImport.DllInterface.DrawTextGiottoFix(By te[] c, Int32& width, Int32& height, Single& fontSize, Int32 letterSpacing, Int32 wordSpacing, Int32 fontWeight, Byte[] Testo, Int32 lenTesto, Byte[] fontName, Int32 lenFontName, Int32 Rfore, Int32 Gfore, Int32 Bfore, Int32 Afore, Int32 Rshadow, Int32 Gshadow, Int32 Bshadow, Int32 Ashadow, QthAlign hAlign, QtvAlign vAlign)
at QTRenderWrapper.Wrapper.DrawImageFix(String Testo, Int32& width, Int32& height, Single& fontSize, Int32 letterSpacing, Int32 wordSpacing, Int32 fontWeight, String Fontname, Int32 lenFontName, Int32 Rfore, Int32 Gfore, Int32 Bfore, Int32 Afore, Int32 Rshadow, Int32 Gshadow, Int32 Bshadow, Int32 Ashadow, QthAlign hAlign, QtvAlign vAlign)

i can't understand why, it's almost a month i'm crashing my head upon this!
please someone could help me?
tell me if you need other details.

thank you

Since C# programs run in AnyCPU mode, it automatically loads 64 bit dlls under 64 bit OS and 32 bit dlls under 32 bit OS.

Compile the DLL with a 32 bit compiler and put 32 QT Dlls with it.

Hi Saman,
thank you for your answer, i've not been at work so i didn't read your reply.
Compiling with a 32 bit compiler is what i've done for first, i'm using Qt 5.0.2 MinGW 32bit
I don't understand from your reply if i have to put in my application folder both the 32 and 64 bit compiled dll.
Do i need two versions of the same library?
I thought about some type conversions of the parameter i'm passing to the library but i'm using only pointers, int and chars. I don't know where it could be fail.

Hi
posting again some news about my tests.
The only machine where i can't use this dll is Windows XP on 32 bit processors.
I can't understand why this happens.
following my c# wrapper code



thank you in adavance to anybody could help me
