Hi Russell and all,
Sorry if this is documented somewhere, but is it possible to load my own .dlls into Deadline?
I’ve built a small DLL to access a Windows API that’s not part of .NET, and it loads and runs fine under ipy.exe. However, when I try to run it with ExecuteScript, I get the attached error dialog. I tried signing my assembly with a “strong name key file” but that didn’t change anything.
Note from the output that even under deadlinecommand ExecuteScript, I can load the dll and extract the class from it; it’s only when I try to call into the class that the error panel is invoked.
After trying what’s documented here, I also tried placing the DLL in a directory that’s already on the Python include path defined in the repository, and then not doing the sys.path.append; it didn’t make any difference.
If it makes any difference I’m under Deadline 4.x, Windows XP64, and compiled the DLL for .NET Framework 2.0.
