Are your app and the type library both 32bit or 64bit? Are there any includes in your type library? If your type library includes another type library, keep in mind that the search path is the app search path. One more tricky thing: If a type library has an include, and this included type library is registered, it will be found first. share|improve this answer edited Mar 13 '14 at 6:09 answered Mar 13 '14 at 5:48 user3379122 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.

You can use mktyplib or midl to generate the tlb-file. So, if you only have a COM dll, you need to get an idl-file from it: 1. Visual Studio, start it and go to the meny Tools->OLE/COM Object Viewer 2. In that application, select meny File->View Typelib.. 3. Select the COM dll and you will see th

Hello! Here's my situation: ..NET ************************************** I've created a simple .NET C# Class Library that uses System.Runtime.InteropServices. In it, I define this interface (that exposes some basic functions): [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsDual)] public interface IServiceWrapper that this class implements public class ServiceFactory : IServiceWrapper That's all it is in .NET C#. After compiling I use regasm ServiceProvider.dll /tlb:ServiceProvider.tlb to create and register the type library. *************************************** Visual Studio C++ 6.0 *************************************** In some class in an MFC project: .... #import "c:\ServiceProvider.tlb" using namespace ServiceProvider; ..... ..... double MyClass::SomeFunction() { HRESULT hr; hr = CoInitialize(0); double jj = 0; try { IServiceWrapperPtr pCOMWrapper(__uuidof(ServiceFactory)); jj = pCOMWrapper->SomeFunction(); char buffer[20]; _itoa (jj, buffer, 10); } catch (_com_error error ) { char buffer[256]; wsprintf(buffer, "Error: 0x%x %S", error.Error(), error.Description()); AfxMessageBox(buffer, MB_OK); } CoUninitialize(); return jj; } *************************************** Ok. What I am doing is using .NET DLL's in a Visual C++ 6.0 project using Interop. In my machine all goes smoothley. The error I specified happens when I use the .NET DLL and TLB in another machine. I've tryied to register the TLB using regtlib but the error persists. I'm a newbie at .NET framework and I hope you can clear my doubts. Many thanks! regy sponsored links 2 4th April 06:43 regy External User Posts: 1 fatal error C1084: Cannot read type library file: 'q:\myapp.tlb': Error loading type library/DLL. I found what was going wrong. I think I need to register the DLL with regasm in the machine that is going to consume this DLL. If the other machine is going to develop using the DLL the TLB must also be registered. I was trying to get it running on a machine that does not have .NET Framework. So, I also found o
