Re: My net dll does not work with a computer with windows 7 64 bits

rebarwin · ‎05-31-2010

Hello,

I have a net dll, which has been developed with visual studio 2005, language vb.net, obfuscated/optimized with smartassembly.

It is loaded into autocad with the netload command.

So far it had worked perfectly in about 12 customers. Some customers had autocad 2008, others had autocad 2009 or 2010. I think all had windows vista. It worked perfectly with all customers.

Now I tried it on a new customer who has windows 7 64 bits. First we tried with autocad 2008. It did not work so we installed autocad 2009. It did not work either.

You can load it with the netload command but it does absolutely nothing, it gives no errors but does absolutely nothing when you type the commands. Commands are not recognized and it does not change the default system menu in autocad.

Please Help

Referring to VS2008, should be similar for 2005, Compile Options for Project, Advanced Compile Options, choose Target CPU = "AnyCPU" as opposed to "x86". That is my first guess. My DLL works fine on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.

Thanks for the answer, but I have already set it to "Any CPU".

Maybe it is not compatible with VS2005 ?

I don't have an answer but I would try creating a new DLL with a simple MsgBox "Hello World" type command. Skip all the other items you mentioned (system menu, obfuscated/optimized) just to verify that it will work and then go from there.

If you can, try a non-obsfucated version of your app
on the problem system, to see if the obsfucation has
any role.
