Can't access textpipeengine.dll

Just upgraded to v14:

TCC 14.00.26 Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
TCC Build 26 Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 3
Registered to Peter Koves

When truing to use tpipe, I get (even in the TC directory; which for sentimental reasons is C:\4NT):

[kovespet@TOAOBXRDTL22G87]C:\4NT>tpipe
TPIPE: Error - Can't access textpipeengine.dll

Looked at the permissions of the DLL and see nothing wrong there (Full Control). What could be the trouble?
 
Same here with Windows 7 x64:

[C:\Program Files\Take Command]tpipe
TPIPE: Error - Can't access textpipeengine.dll
 
No problem here (Win7/32) but one question comes to mind. Is the home of tpipeengine.dll in your PATH?
 
Does C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD14x64\ need to be in the path for v and tpipe to work? I've never had it in my path, and I thought v used to work without it. At the moment, neither work.

I'm not sure, but the v14 install (32-bit, anyway) does put it in the path, I think so the TPIPE EXE can be found. I'm not up-to-date on the rules for locating DLLs.
 
Not reproducible here -- can you post a directory listing of your installation directory?
Well, I guess you caught me:oops:. I did the install over an existing TC11 directory. I did some spring cleaning, removed all prugins from the path (verified with PLUGIN command), killed all copies of TCMD/TCC and SHRALIAS, restarted and still get the error.

BTW, V and VIEW work fine.

Below is the current contents of the directory:

[kovespet@TOAOBXRDTL22G87]C:\4NT>tpipe

The most likely reason is that your system is blocking the COM registration (textpipeengine.dll is a COM dll). Try running "regsvr32 textpipeengine.dll" from the command line and see if you get an error message.

Looks like that was it. The good news is that running regsvr32 command produced a dialog stating that the registration succeeded and now afterwards, TPipe works. Many thanks!
