Valentina Kernel FAQ
General
Installation
Q: I have install V4RB/V4MD/VNET/VCOM/... on my Windows, but Valentina DLLs are not recognised. What is the problem?
The installer of a Valentina product on Windows creates the folder
\Program Files\Paradigma Software\VComponents_win_vc
it also adds the path to this folder to the environment variable PATH. To see this variable you can:
open the Properties of “My Computer”
select the tab panel “Advanced”
click the button “Environment Variables”
in the new window you can see at the bottom a list of “System Variables”. In this list you can locate the PATH variable.
The few times we have had this issue, the affected developers have COPIED the path to vcomponents folder into the PATH string, and after this Windows could find the Valentina DLLs.
64 Bit
Q: Do I have to use different valentina database files for 32 or 64 bit?
Valentina database files are the same for 32-bit and 64-bit modes.
Executables - yes are different of course, like for any other application or library. Although MAC OS X allows to pack few branches of code into single file, we tend to provide different archives for 32 and 64 bit executables and ADKs.

Table Questions
Q: Is DropTable() faster of DeleteAllRecords()?
DropTable expected to be faster, because when you delete record by record, engine must check constraints and links to delete may be linked records. DropTable() simply delete the table, and try to do fast operation to cleanup links if any.
