itss.dll error on Vista x64 when running MAX

[tsha]

I installed Vision Acquisition Software 2009 on a 64-bit Vista PC with a PCIe-1429 card. When I open MAX and select the camera associated with the PCIe-1429 card, I get this messsage: "C:\Windows\System32\itss.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installling the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support." (see attached screenshot). I tried both repairing and reinstalling VAS2009; I still get this error message. The itss.dll in the system32 folder is dated 11/2/2006, and is version 6.0.6000.16386.

Another Vista 64-bit PC, with the same board and same VAS2009 software installed, doesn't show this error. The only difference is I upgraded to VAS2009 from Vision 8.6. The itss.dll file on the other PC is the same build as the problem PC.

You may try backing up the DLL on the first computer and copying the file from the second.  I would have thought that reinstalling would have fixed a problem with the DLL but this would be worth a shot.

Try registering the file

Re-registering the DLLs did not help, either...

Copying over the DLL from the good machine did the trick. The original DLL was apparently corrupt, because it did not display the Microsoft information in the version properties page.

Thanks for the update and glad to hear it worked!

Can you post the good version of itss.dll?  I've been running into the same issue for months, and don't have a second machine to pull the file from.

Rename .png to .dll
