Add Reference to PCDLRN.tlb not working

cduve
Apologies for the duplicate post there was a timeout first time around and I didn't think it was posted! (Can't figure out how to delete it either!)

I'm need to do some VB.Net development on a pc that doesn't have PC-DMIS installed. My understanding is that I need to add a reference to PCDLRN.tlb but when I try that I get the following error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop
---------------------------
A reference to 'C:\pcdlrn.tlb' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

I'm running VSE2012 on Windows 7 64bit. Any ideas what is going on here?

I can add reference to the same file in excel VBA on the pc with PC-DMIS installed without any issues.

Also, where can I get the Object Library reference material? I've seen other post refer to this link but it doesn't work anymore... http://www.wilcoxassoc.com/downloads/dl_documentation.php

Thanks!

  • You need to register the type library so that Visual Studio recognizes it as a COM reference. When PC-DMIS is installed it will do this for you, otherwise you have to do it yourself.

    Copy the type library file (pcdlrn.tlb) from the PC-DMIS application directory of the PC it's installed on to an easy to find location (like on root of C) on your PC. On your PC, open a command prompt window, and execute the following: 

    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regtlibv12.exe C:\pcdlrn.tlb
