How to use local site solver with cosimulation?

MKvist
simple_simulink_adams_sub
I'm trying to run a cosimulation with an A/Car model with Simulink as the master. My A/Car model use some subroutines that is included in our site solver, but the cosimulation use the standard solver. I have tried to use the "User Defined Library Name" when I export my plant, but I still get the same error.
 
From the msg-file:
---- START: ERROR ----
Error in dispatcher subroutine sfoSUB: Invalid PAR(1): 0800           
---- END: ERROR ----
 
Does anyone have any clue of how I solve this issue?
 
In the bat-file ctrlsctrl....bat, that is created when I push the run-button in Simulink, there is a row "set MDI_SOLVER_USER_LIB=C:\MSC~1.SOF\ADAMS_~1\2019.2\win64\acar_solver.dll". This points to the standard solver and I guess that it could be a clue of why it doesn't work as I want. Where do I set the value of this environment variable?
 
OS: Windows
ADAMS-ver: 2019.2
MatLab-ver: R2019b
 
 
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: (2022-04-14)
The co-simulation works if I update the standard acar.cfg and replace the standard solver with my site solver, but this is only a solution for my test run at the moment. So my problem is still a exists.
 
I have also tried to run the same model with compatible versions of MatLab and ADAMS, but the problem still remains.
ADAMS-ver: 2018.1
MatLab-ver: R2017b
 
How do I setup the co-simulation to run with my site settings?

    If you have a private or site solver, you need to set the environment variable
    MDI_ACAR_SITE
    and let that point to the directory where your solver resides.
    I usually tweak the bat files that start the analysis to include that environment.
     
    Maybe a bit of fine tunung is required like putting the solve in <MDI_ACAR_SITE>/win64 or so (check the ADAMS topdir which is the required subdir for your ADAMS version & platform)
     
    The more elegant solution is to compile your user-subs to a library like my_usersubs.dll and then use the appropriate ROUTINE statement like
    ROUTINE/my_usersubs::reqsub
     
    This dll works without any settings, if it's in the working dir
