System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Unable to find assembly 'MbtCom.dll'.
Hi All, I know this is a very basic question, but despite all my efforts I haven't been able to load a third-party dll into python. I can find the dll using clr.FindAssembly("MbtCom"). I also append the required path to the sys.path, but it refuses to show up. Is there something obvious I am missing ? Thank you for your time.
1. Is it a managed assembly or an unmanaged .dll? 2. If it is a managed assembly, is it registered in the GAC? See: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/PrintSearchContent.asp?LINKID=713 also try: clr.AddReference('nameOfAssembly'). Note that you do not need to include '.dll' This assumes the assembly is in the system path which can be accomplished using sys.path.insert(0, 'mypath') From: pythondotnet-bounces+btribble=maxis.com@python.org [mailto:pythondotnet-bounces+btribble=maxis.com@python.org] On Behalf Of kfadnis Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 6:10 PM To: pythondotnet@python.org Subject: [Python.NET] System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Unable to find assembly 'MbtCom.dll'.

I am not sure if its managed or unmanaged, its a third party dll that came with its software, the interface is COM (ActiveX). I have added and worked with it through C#, I load them using Add Reference in C# .NET and then find them on the COM tab. Also, when added as reference in the .NET environment they load as Interop.MBTCOMLib i.e with a different name and their copy is local and is in the project directory rather than the directory where they are located. I tried the GAC utility and its said Failure adding assembly to cache: The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest. The funny thing is clr.FindAssembly() finds it, but clr.AddReference says unable to find assembly. On Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 11:20 PM, Tribble, Brett <btribble@ea.com> wrote:

I ended up writing a class to source the COM libraries. Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions. Thanks for your time. On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 8:59 AM, kfadnis <kfadnis@gmail.com> wrote:

Try this: import sys sys.path.append("<path to your custom assembly>") import clr import System clr.AddReference("MbtCom") Craig. 14/04/2009 9:09 a.m. dï, kfadnis pišdimiš:
