New installation with fatal error (Unable to load SQLite.Interop.dll)

Hello,

Under RDM's installation folder, you should see a x86 and a x64 folder. Each of them contain the SQLite.interop.dll for that platform.

Can you double check that they are in there, and that they aren't locked (right-click, properties)

Best regards,

Did you use the installer or the zip file?

Yes, both x86 & x64 folders have SQLite.Interop.dll in them.

I checked their Properties windows but don't see any specific "locked" description or label.

I used the installer files.

Hi,

Have you tried to install RDM 10.5.4.0 or 10.9.0.0?
http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Home/Download#beta

On a Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 computer, are you able to install RDM without any issue?

Best regards,

I'm having the same problem.
I installed RDM Version 2.0.5.0 (11.24.15) on my Windows 8.1 laptop.
The installation went OK without error, but when I start RDM I get the same error as Eng Hong Tan.
These are the details from the messagebox:

Hello,
Usually just a simple reboot fixes the problem. Could you try?

Hi, thanks for your answer.

Tried the reboot. A well known Windows problem solver. ;)
This time however the problem wasn't solved.

Let me put this a bit in a time line:

I tried both the msi and exe installation. Nice try, no banana...

What might be the cause and how can I solve it?
Any ideas?

Hi Leo,

- What happens if you run the 64-bit version of RDM? RemoteDesktopManager64.exe
- Are the following files in the install folder?
- System.Data.SQLite.dll
- x86\SQLite.Interop.dll
- x64\SQLite.Interop.dll
- Any of the above files locked?

Hi Stefane,

I can't find RemoteDesktopManager64.exe
I'm running the free version.
All files you refer to are present, none of them is locked.

Could you try to unzip it in a new folder not located in program files? For example C:\RDM

When I copy the folder from Program Files (x86) to my PortableApps folder and run it from there, everything seems to be ok.
When I try running RDM from Program Files (x86) I get the error again.
I tried to give users change rights to the folder Devolutions in Program Fi... but to no avail. The error keeps showing up.

Anyway, I can run RDM from my PortableApps folder, so I can give it a go now.
I'll look into the problem of the file location at some later time.
If I find something I'll keep you posted.

Hi,
I gave it another go.
First removed the Devolutions folder from Program Files (x86).
Then I copied the Devolutions folder from the PortableApps folder back to Program Files (x86).
When running RDM as Administrator I encountered no problems.
So I changed the security settings of the Remote Desktop Manager Free folder so that standard users can write to the folder.
Ran RDM as standard user and BINGO! No more error.
Looks like it has everything to do with user rights on the installation folder.
Isn't Windows fun? :)

Looks like it isn't only about user rights on the installation folder.
After my changes to the security info of the folder I noticed the following:
When I run RDM from the Windows Explorer, so I doubleclick on the exe file directly, it runs ok.
When I run RDM from the Menu Start (shortcut), it produces the error...
The shortcut looks ok to me. But one never knows.
So I created another shortcut on the desktop, doubleclick it... and RDM runs without a problem.
Has Windows gone crazy? :\:

Could it be related to the Windows program files virtualization?

Leo, thanks for resurrecting this thread of mine. As awkward as it can be, I'm kinda of relieved that I'm not the only to have encountered this issue. :D

Anyway, I have a question. Is your laptop connected to the Internet during the RDM installation?

In my scenario, my machine (which was a VM) is a darksite system therefore I actually had to install the pre-requiresite files manually & I believe those were the culprit.

I had RDM installed in my Windows 8.1 laptop without any issue though.

I did some more trying.
Looks like it has to do with the location of the shortcut.
When I run the shortcut (as a standard user) from the start menu, the error shows up.
When I copy the shortcut from the start menu to the desktop and run it from the desktop, it runs without a hickup.
If I logon or run RDM as an administrator user, the program runs fine from the start menu too.

To be honest, it's the first time I encounter a problem like this one.
It's weird, to say the least.
Windows sure has some quirks that will surprise us every now and then.

Perhaps it's related to the working directory of the shortcut. Could you verify if it configured with the application installation path?

The shortcut is placed in the standard location for all users:
C:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\Remote Desktop Manager Free
It points to the correct installation location of RDM.

If I copy that shortcut to my desktop or some free accessible folder on my disk, it works flawlessly, from the standard location in the start menu it gets flunked.
Even if I copy the shortcut to the Menu Start in my own userfolder it fails with the dll error.

Short:
- RDM works fine if called from the desktop or a free accessible folder.
- RDM fails if called from the Menu Start.

I will try again this evening on another PC to see what happens there.
That way I can pinpoint if the problem only occurs on my laptop or not.
CU later.
