[TRNSYS-users] new component in trnsys

[David BRADLEY]

Louis and Angel,
   There are two possibilities that I can think of...

1. depending on whether the trndll.dll is compiled in debug mode or 
release mode, it goes looking in external dlls in either the 
..\Trnsys17\UserLib\DebugDLLs\ or the ..\Trnsys17\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ 
directory. It could be that on one machine, the TRNDll is compiled in 
one mode whereas it is compiled in the other mode on the students' 
machines. If you run the simulation on each machine and look at the 
*.log and *.lst files that are produced, you should find a "Notice" 
telling you where the TRNDll was looking for external DLLs. It is best 
if the TRNDll and external DLLs are all compiled in release mode.

2. even when the trndll and external dlls are compiled in release mode, 
they sometimes require access to some other DLLs that are only present 
on computers that have a compiler installed on them. These are the 
so-called Microsoft redistributable libraries. They are free and 
everything may work fine if you install them on the students' machines.

Best,
