Edit library paths within a .dll

Hi,

 

I have a 

 

The problem is, since the .lib and .dll files came in the form of a Software Development Kit, I'm not entirely sure what the Call Library Function is trying to call, and even if I DID know what it was trying to call, I wouldn't be able to edit it.

 

I would be THRILLED to answer any questions - I'm scraping bottom here. I'm pretty new to LabVIEW, so I would greatly appreciate any help I can get!

 

Thank you for your kindness!

"I have a ..........."   You are missing some information there.

 

What are you working with?

The standard import library for a DLL is not using any paths. It only references the DLL by name and lets Windows find the actual DLL by its standard search path algorithme for DLLs.

 

It is analogous in LabVIEW to simply specify the DLL name in the Library control in the Call Library Node configuration dialog. This requires that the DLL is installed in one of the standard search locations for Windows.

 

Windows does search in the locations pointed out in this post.
