Error loading type library/DLL
Resolving the error:
This error is resolved by adding Midas.DLL to the DCE server, and registering it.
- Download COMPONENTS.ZIP for your version of Exo. The current version at time of publishing is: 2020.3 version of COMPONENTS.ZIP
- Copy the newest version of midas*.dll into your EXO Folder.
- Rename the file to midas.dll (remove the version information)
- Open a command prompt with administrator privileges, and navigate to your Exo folder (Eg: C:\Program Files (x86)\MYOB Exo Business or C:\Exonet)
- Type Regsvr32 midas.dll
This registers MIdas.DLL as available for applications to use (Datasnap). Try connecting again on the client computer. This error should now be resolved.
