but this giving me error, I tried a lot to resolve this, but it remains same, please let me know if anyone faced same issue.

Solution

  • I think you have to first register the dll in windows then load will work fine.

    To register the same use command regsvr32 <complete dll path>

    Use Regsvr32.exe from the %SystemRoot%\Syswow64 folder. For example, type the following commands to register the DLL: cd \windows\syswow64 regsvr32 c:\filename.dll
