xp_md5: "Cannot load DLL" Problem

  • April 7, 2004 at 11:14 am

    #161792

    Environment:

    SQL Server 2000 Version 8.00.760 (Intel IA 64), Windows 2003 Server

    Problem:

    Server does not load DLL (xp_md5.dll: for generating MD5 hash) when I try to try run extended stored proc. Error: "Cannot Load DLL, or other DLL's it references".

    Works fine on 32-bit machine.

    What is the workaround? Have source code for the DLL.

    TIA

    Can you load this DLL with VBScript/VB/C++ on this machine?

    Don't have Visual Studio on the machine!

    Without compiling the DLL in the 64 bit environment, is there no way I can use it?

    this dll seems to be for encryption using RSA.  I'd bet either user permission issues or it wont run from 64 bit?  see http://www.activecrypt.com/help/xpcrypt/sysreq.htm

    I'd bet the on the 64bit issue. If you can't recompile, I'm not sure what you can do. Did you register this on the server adn in SQL?

    Yeah tried registering the DLL on the server. That din't work either...

    I think I'll have to resign to the fact that unless I find a way to recompile on the 64-bit, there is no other way to get it to work. Will find a workaround for the larger problem.

    Thanks for your input folks!
