[TRNSYS-users] Type169 could not be loaded (Python direct call)

[Mts Mcs]

Hello, I'm experiencing the dreaded "Type169 could not be located in either the trndll.dll or in an external dll." error message. There are several threads about this issue, including a very recent one. I've visited every one of them, however none of the suggestions have solved the issue.

Here's some information:
*Trnsys install location C:\TRNSYS18 (32 bit version)
*Python install location C:\Python
*The user is listed as administrator in netplwiz

What I've tried:
* Python 3.9 32bit
* Python 3.6 32bit
* Python 3.6 64bit
* Python 3.8.3 32bit w/ Type169 built for Python 3.8 (Yuichi's version -
https://www.kankyoukei.com/en/2021/03/trnsys-type169-troubleshooting.html)
* Unzipping embedded Python files to Exe directory (a method from Yuichi's site)
* Windows PATH seems to be right (I can launch Python from cmd.exe, as well as the path is listed in the settings)
* Countless restarts
* Running TRNSYS as administrator from right click menu

Is there anything else I could do?

Best regards
MM
