OS could not load C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\InterPlot\IPLOT\bin\iplotman.dll, error 126


Problem

MicroStation CONNECT Edition (High Security)

When launching MicroStation Update 17 (10.17.xx.xx) or later in High Security mode, the following error displays in a MicroStation – Text Window

             OS could not load C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\InterPlot\IPLOT\bin\iplotman.dll, error 126.

            MDL Loader: Unable to load library (DLL or MDL shared library) iplotman

 Also, when attempting to invoke the IPLOT dialog, an “Unknown key-in or command” error displays in the Message Center.

 

Solution

Exit MicroStation and edit iplotman.cfg by setting IPDIR to C:\win32app\ingr\ipshare\bin below the %if … %endif block.

C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\MicroStation\config\appl\iplotman.cfg

             %if !defined (MSPrintServer)

             IP_IPLOT = C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\InterPlot\IPLOT

             MS_MDL                      < $(IP_IPLOT)/bin/

            MS_DGNAPPS < $(IP_IPLOT)/bin/iplotn.ma

            MS_ICONRSCLIST       < $(IP_IPLOT)/bin/iplotribbon.rsc

            MS_RIBBONXML          < $(IP_IPLOT)/bin/iplotribbon.xml

            %endif

            IPDIR = C:\win32app\ingr\ipshare\bin
