Error: "Unable to Locate DLL: The dynamic link library PWIOCB32.dll could not be found in the specified path".

LAST MODIFIED DATE: January 19, 2004

VERSION: This applies to Exceed version 9.0

PROBLEM:

You are getting the following error when running Xstart:

"Unable to Locate DLL: The dynamic link library PWIOCB32.dll could not be found in the specified path".

SOLUTION:

If you have Digital Pathworks installed you will have the PWIOCB32.dll file. In order to use Exceed with the Windows native TCP/IP transport layer, you will need to add a flag to the registry.

Here are the steps to add the registry flag:

  1. Click on Start.
  2. Select Run.
  3. Type "regedit" in the Open field.
  4. Go to the following hive:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hummingbird\Connectivity\9.00\Exceed\Transport

    Note: create "Transport" key if it does not exist under the Exceed key.

  5. Create a DWORD called "DecnetDisable" with value of 1.
Now you will be able to run Xstart to launch your x-applications.
