CRPE32.dll not found

[cankalu]

Hi Guys

I am working on VB6 with Crystal Reports10. I am new to this application I am using, which has lots of reporting functinality.

The code is using lot of functions of CRPE32.dll file (PEOpenEngine, PEOpenPrintJob.. etc.) They declared the functions in VB Like

Declare Function PEOpenEngine Lib "crpe32.dll" () As Integer
Declare Sub PECloseEngine Lib "crpe32.dll" ()

Now I am getting the "CRPE32.dll not found" whenever I tried to use these functions. I saw there is CRPE32.dll in my system (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\bin) and I also see the registry entries for this dll. But still I am getting this error.

Can anybody tell why is this happening? I tried to register the dll, but looks like does not have the start point. I am confused about this. Please help me out...

Thanks
Chandra

Have you tried adding the DLL to the Project References in VB?

It will not register as there is no entry point for this dll. But as I said, there are entries in the registry.

Did you try putting the DLL in the Application Path?

Copy and register the Dll in system32 folder and try running the application
