I am writing a program which refers to a dll using the words "Declare"
Whenever I run the program I get an error saying "File not found: x.dll". I tried specifying the whole path, still an error. I tried registering the dll, gives me an error.
I opened the Visual Studio Depends program to see if the dll has missing dependencies and found nothing that could be troubling it.
What could be the cause of this?
Thanks!

I want to use this project face_eye_detection.zip.
When I run it I get an error 'library failed to load',
So I changed the dll link
but the problem remains the same, I even change the dll link and it doesn't work.
Where exactly is the problem? In the link above, the program worked well with the others
Double check that it is a c++ dll and not a dotnet dll, that one has got me before.
I've been asked to install an old VB program on an XP computer, but when I do I get an error when I run the program saying that Component 'filename.ocx' or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
This is a custom file (I did not create it), I have tried regsvr32 and I get no error messages but no successfully registered messages either.
This program also runs on another computer which this ocx file is not registered but opens without error. So my question would be what could cause the file to not be recognized by regsvr32, and run on another client with the same os, but without error. Any ideas, or new paths to look into would be very helpful.
Also if you dislike something about this question, let me know what it is, so I can fix it in the future. Down voting a question gives me no insight on why this upsets the community, it just discourages me to want to help others in areas I do understand.
If you do get the error "Component 'filename.ocx' or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" from a custom dll or ocx file, it may just need that file and its dependent files in the directory that your running the executable, as was the problem in my case.
After adding the file to the root directory, and not registering any files the program opened fine. Maybe this helps someone else.
I have a vb6 project, and when i tried to run the source code I got an error which points to the CMWImpt.dll.
I tried to put the dll in the System32, sysWow64, and project folder, and registered it. But this is the error:
CMWImpt.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not was not found. This file cannot be registered'
anyone who encountered this before?
thanks
What's the error message?
Not all dlls are registerable. Only COM dlls have registration. And they are usually but not always in the dll (sometimes in another dll).
Error messages that mention dll names are not COM errors mostly. COM errors are of the type "Cannot create activex object", unless correctly registered and the file deleted.
So your file is either corrupted or not a COM dll.
The WinAPI uses dynamic linking. DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library, COM dlls have 4 or so standard dynamic functions to controll COM like DLLRegisterServer.
So you need to provide more detailed info on the problem.
I am trying to register a .dll file but I am getting an error. The .dll is in the SysWOW64 folder, through the command line I then cd \Windows\SysWOW64 and run the following command regsvr32 php_sdo.dll
I then get the following error:
"The module "php_sdo.dll" failed to load.
Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path of debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent.DLL files.
The specified module could not be found"
This kind of failure often occurs when one of the dependency of the DLL one wants to register (which physically means, that the program that attempts to register the DLL internally calls LoadLibrary) is missing. You can have a look at the dependency (tree) of your DLL using Dependency Walker.
my issue is very similar to:
http://www.dotnetmonster.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/dotnet-vb/54944/VB-Net-project-throwing-errors-when-executing-Clean-Solution
Typical errors: Unable to load referenced library X
Type IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell is not defined.
Interface System.IDisposable is not implemented by this class.
Namespace of type specified in the Imports Z does not contain any public members or cannot be found. Make sure the imported element name does not use any aliases.
This must have to do with a VB.net project configuration. Currently there is a setting "Treat all warnings as errors". I would like to keep that setting, but also resolve these annoying "errors".
I've experienced a similar problem and fixed it by running the following command in the VS command line tool
devenv /resetskippkgs
I'ev had problems executing Clean's via MSBuild in VS2008 when projects were registered for COM interop.
The problem is that the "Clean" target auto-generated for a solution cleans projects in the same order in which they were built.
This causes problems for projects registered for COM when MSBuild attempts to load and then unregister the assembly from COM during a "Clean".The issue occurs if the assembly has a dependency on another project because the dependency will be deleted first and therefore loading the assembly will fail and MSBuild will be unable to unregister it.
A workaround is to change the solution .cache file (which contains the targets auto-generated by MSBuild during "Build") and reverse the order of the "Clean" target. I hacked-together a quick-fix custom build task to do this as a post-build step.
No idea if this was fixed in VS2010 or indeed if this matches your problem since you don't give many specifics in your question ;)
