Good afternoon experts!
I'm having trouble getting a dll to properly load. It loads on my machine, and even though the users who will be using the library have it on their machine, the program will not recognize it.
I'm writing an automation program that interacts with a green screen application. It uses the atmapi32.dll library. The first time I tried to run it on someone's computer, i received the following error: - System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'atmapi32.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
-
Thanks to Plater, and his suggestion in another thread to use Process Explorer, I learned the path of the DLL it was trying to use. Thinking myself extremely clever, I hard coded the library directory, to point to a copy of the library in the application's folder but I got this error instread: - System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'c:\program files\sls\workbook1\atmapi32.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
I've been down a similar path before, with trying to get the same program to recognize a library, however the that case, the library didn't exist on the users' machines. In this case, the library exists, but the program will not find it, even when I hard code.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? My only other thought would be to find a way to package the library in the install file (which I don't know how to do either).
Thank you in advance!

As a follow up, I've tried using gcutil on the users computer, but that doesn't seem to help either.

This is a bit of a head scratcher, I think gcutil only applies to .NET(managed) DLLs, if the DLL is a COM dll, it gets registered differently I think.
Not sure why it would not allow you to use the dll on other systems.
Maybe the error message is a red herring and its really a security/permissions issue on the system?
I tried going into the application properties and running the analyzer for the security, and it made the application Full Trust. But I got the same error as I did before. Is there a way to see exactly what the function within the DLL is trying to do, so I can see where the exception is being generated from?
I've also tried to use Dependency walker to see if I'm missing a library. It says that MPR.dll has "At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module." The function missing the export is WNetRestoreConn ectionA. I get the same error on my machine (where the program does work) as well as the users, so I don't think that's the issue.
I'm don't know if this will help narrow it down any...
- Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH") & ";C:\Program Files\IBM\EHLLAPI")
Figured it out! The PATH variable was missing the directory where the atmapi32 was located.
Thank you all for your help!

So we have moved our app from .NET version 2.X in IIS6 to a Windows
2008 Server running IIS7.
We have copied all files to the Windwardreports\apps directory and
that apps directory has been converted to an application running in
..NET 2.X and Integrated mode.
We copied over the DB and edited the web.config file to the DB
username and password. I also added the NETWORK SERVICE user to the
DB.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
