It turns out to get this application working under VBScript, I had to do two things. Run RegAsm.exe to register the DLLs. Run the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe to run my VBScript. If these don’t work, check out the other answer here about enabling 32-bit applications in IIS.
It’s when Application A installs a Shared DLL v1.0, Application B comes and updates the Shared DLL to v1.1 which should be compatible but there are slightly different behaviors, then App A stops working correctly and reinstalls v1.0 then App B stops working … now imagine this with more than 2 apps let’s say a … Read more

Published builds (static / dynamic) on [GitHub]: CristiFati/Prebuilt-Binaries – (master) Prebuilt-Binaries/LibJPEG. Like almost all of the nowadays software, LibJPEG is also hosted on [GitHub]: winlibs/libjpeg – libjpeg-9b. I downloaded it from both places, did a comparison and only few minor differences (out of which none in the source code) popped up. I’m going to explain … Read more
Yes, this is perfectly possible. You just expose the components written in 4.0 as COM objects. The 2.0 hosting application just uses them as COM objects and has no idea whether they are native, 2.0, 4.0 or whatever. COM is the common interface that both runtime versions have to implement identically. The new in-process SxS … Read more
I was having the same problem. Turned out I was missing the ./Views/Web.config file, because I created the project from an empty ASP.NET application instead of using an ASP.NET MVC template. For ASP.NET MVC 5, a vanilla ./Views/Web.config file contains the following: <?xml version=”1.0″?> <!– https://stackoverflow.com/a/19899269/178082 –> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name=”system.web.webPages.razor” type=”System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, … Read more
The problem is likely you try to register a 32-bit library with 64-bit version of regsvr32. See this KB article – you need to run regsvr32 from windows\SysWOW64 for 32-bit libraries.
dumpbin is a tool that comes with VC++.

Edit: As explained by Bob, this answer describes the Alternate Search Order, which is not what most applications would see. The full rules are quite complex. I don’t think I can summarize them here. Instead, read the Microsoft docs – https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic-link-library-search-order My original answer was: This MSDN article explains the default search order. I quote: … Read more
I wrote a small Python module for calling into Windows DLLs from Python on Linux. It is based on IPC between a regular Linux/Unix Python process and a Wine-based Python process. Because I have needed it in too many different use-cases / scenarios myself, I designed it as a “generic” ctypes module drop-in replacement, which … Read more
