Using a .dll file in Diadem2012

[Hummel3]

Dear folks,

I've got a .dll which was created using the Diadem GPI toolkit 10.2 and Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0, I guess. I'm currently using this DLL under Diadem 9.0.

Now I'd like to use this same DLL under Diadem 2012, but it won't work. When loading this DLL via the GPI-DLL loader, It only says .dll couln't be loaded, no further output, no more debug information...?

What can I do to load this DLL into Diadem2012, or do I have to code the whole DLL new?!

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Hummel3,

We changed the compiler (VC8), maybe that's the reason. In that case you just need to either recompile your DLL or install the runtime library of the compiler which way used to create the DLL.

Hi Walter,

thanks for your fast reply.

I tried to recompile that file in Visual Studio 10, because I had an old project file coded in Visual Studio 8. Unfortunately, that did'nt work. The .dll could not be built. So I'd like to try to install the runtime library.

I don't know under which visual studio version, the dll file was built, so what should I do? Install Visual Studio 8 and 6 and hope that the runtime library I need is installed then?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

The VS version must be the one of the DLL.

If you open your dll in the dependency walker you can see if there are any unresolved dependencies (dlls)

Hi guys,

thank you very much for your support. It worked well with the VB6 runtime library!
