.dll not loaded even after path is provided

[Atizss]

I am using a .dll from .NET with my LabView 8.6 application. It works, until I try to build it with Application Builder. It says this:

So I point LabView to it, and then:


How is this possible, that when I point to the directory of .dll, it still does not find it? I tried putting it in different directories, also the support directory and data directory, but it all ends this way. How do I solve this?

The weird thing is there are like 5 dlls, and this is the only one it asks it for.

Are you using Windows 10? LabVIEW 8.6 is not even listed as compatible with Windows 7...

Compared to the development environment, the runtime environment (EXE) doesn't recognize the folders <vi.lib>, <user.lib> and <instr.lib>.

Your screenshots indicate that the assembly is located in the instr.lib. You have to include the dll in your build script and copy it to a dedicated folder.

I am sorry, but I do not understand what you mean by "build script" and which folder are you referring to. Could you elaborate?

So I finally found the solution for it: My .dll was built using .NET 4.0 framework, but according to https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019L3hSAE&l=nl-NL, LabView defaults to 3.5. So I followed the instructions there and fixed it. However, I must note that it took too much time finding this information.
