DLL loading problem in DNS 9.5

Hi,

I am trying to use Natlink 1.5.0 and Vocola with a new installation of DNS 9.5. After installing DNS 9.5, ActiveState Python 2.3.4 and, finally, Natlink 1.5.0, I get the following error message everytime I start DNS:

"Error loading _vocola_main from C:\PROGRA~1\NatLink\macrosystem\_vocola_main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\PROGRA~1\NatLink\macrosystem\core\natlinkmain.py", line 141, in loadFile
imp.load_module(modName,fndFile,fndName,fndDesc)
File "C:\PROGRA~1\NatLink\macrosystem\_vocola_main.py", line 48, in ?
import simpscrp
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found."

Any thoughts about how to resolve the above problem?

This forum topic suggests that the Natlink installer does not work with DNS 9.5

Has anyone picked up the installer for 9.5? The sourceforge project cited in that post
http://sourceforge.net/projects/natlink/

that is supposed to have the source files for the installer has no files available for download.

I'd appreciate any help. I am urgently trying to get this working for a user test in 3 days.

Thanks,
Rick

Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks for letting me know. I hope you make quick progress.

I did more testing and found that I get the same DLL loading error if I just try to execute the test.py function in the Vocola 1.5 source distribution.

That suggests that there is a problem with the simpscrp.pyd DLL. I re-compiled it from source (using Python 2.3.4), but had the same loading problem. Is there a trick to getting things set up so that that file will load properly?

Thanks,
Rick
