I think what happened is that your original TRNDll.dll and the Type344.dll that you got from Transsolar are both "release mode" dlls. A release mode TRNDll looks for external DLLs in the ..\Trnsys17\UserLib\</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:red'>ReleaseDLLs</span><span lang=EN-US>\ directory. When you recompiled TRNDll.dll, however, it recompiled in "debug mode" (this is a compiler configuration setting) so the new TRNDll.dll is now looking for Type344.dll in the ..\Trnsys17\UserLib\</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:red'>DebugDLLs</span><span lang=EN-US>\ directory and there likely isn't a Type344.dll in there. If Type344 does not use any data files then it is pretty safe to just move a copy of Type344.dll into the ..\DebugDLLs\ directory. If it does use data files then you will need to obtain a Type344.dll that is compiled in debug mode instead of release mode.<br>Kind regards,<br> David<br><br><br>On 3/8/2011 01:14, Yoshinaga Mika wrote: <o:p></o:p></span></p><pre><span lang=EN-US>Dear all,<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span lang=EN-US>I'm facing a difficult problem.
