Known Issues with CryptoSys^TM API

Symptoms:
Run Time Error 5; Invalid procedure call or argument.

Causes:
There are two possible causes of a "Run Time Error 5":

The executable diCryptoSysTest.exe is in a directory where it does not have permission to create a sub-directory or test files - such as C:\Program Files in Vista and W7. In this case, move the executable to a different directory where you do have permission.
The temporary test directory of the form apitest.72AB6180 is created, but the code has hard-coded references to C:\Test which does not exist on your system.
2009-12-17: Fixed in Version 4.3.

Remarks:
The test code is actually a collection of all the VB6 examples in the manual. We should have removed the references to C:\Test.

Thanks to Jay Riddell for pointing this out.
