Registering the FTD2XX.DLL
doctorwho8:
Hello!
I found out about the FTD2XX.DLL library via the list which supports the VEE program, which is now supported by Keysight. And that user was able to access the features of the library to fully inform VEE of it, and do other things. However... In my case I sometimes see error messages that a particular method isn't available, yet that's what was selected.
Supposedly the library is supposed to be registered with the Dot-Net collector of such libraries inside Windows, but I've not found a clew as to how that should be done. I did note that the C# examples shown describe how to build from the source code, and that includes making the library available at build time, and including the XML file for interpretation by Visual Studio. I've also come across on the site a Labview example series. Well okay but I use VEE for my work. 8)

Hello,
Unfortunately we don't support Keysight VEE.
The standard IDE that we use is Microsoft Visual Studio.
You can find some basic software examples using this here:

Maybe other community members will be able to help you.

Hello!
Okay. But are there any suggestions for simply registering the library so that it would be available in general? I've come across a suggestion someplace to use the gacutil command to instruct the appropriate Dot-Net version to do so for a completely different library, but in this case of course I was thinking of FTD2XX.DLL for the obvious circumstances.
Supporting Keysight's VEE is not requested.

Hello,
Unfortunately we do not have any experience doing this here at FTDI.
I did find the following link however, maybe this is helpful for you:

Hello!
That is a bigger help. But trying those examples I get this problem:

--- End code ---
The first was trying it, with sticking the library name there, instead of the entry in the example online. The system had that to say about it. The second was from trying it without the / thing the other needed.
It seems the library needs whatever the complaint wants to be properly registered. IMHO it might need to be rebuilt.
