Fixing the ie4uinit Error in Gluonfx Docker Builds

When building native images using the Gluonfx plugin inside a Docker container, developers may encounter an unexpected error related to ie4uinit.exe. Specifically, the error reads:

Cannot run program "ie4uinit": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified.

This issue arises during the linking step of the build process, creating obstacles for developers who rely on this technology stack. Let's explore how to resolve this problem effectively.

Understanding the Problem

The error indicates that within the Docker environment, the required ie4uinit.exe application is missing, and as a result, the linking process is unable to complete successfully. The error log captures this process, signaling a failure in building the native image for your Gluonfx application.

Solution Overview

The solution to this problem lies in changing the base Docker image you are using. Initially, you might be utilizing an image that lacks certain Windows dependencies required for building native applications. By simply switching to a more suitable base image, we can overcome this issue.

Recommended Docker Image

To resolve the ie4uinit issue, you should switch your Dockerfile’s base image to:
