    As I just reported in a separate reply, my code works with a 32bit strawberry perl. The messages I get from depends.exe, called as suggested above, for MGCPCBAutomationLicensing look fairly innocent: 
    Loaded "MGCPCBAUTOMATIONLICENSING.DLL" at address 0x00550000 by thread
+ 7.  Successfully hooked module.
DllMain(0x00550000, DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH, 0x00000000) in "MGCPCBAUTOMATI

    When I try the same with my default 64bit perl however, I get 
    Failure starting the process. The request is not supported (50).

    And I get this even when I just use perl.exe without any args (no program to load).

      Dependency Walker comes in a 32 and 64 bit version, they only understand processes of the same bitness.

        I'll try to look into that even though www.dependencywalker.com says 
        Dependency Walker runs on Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vist
+a, 7, and 8. It can process any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module [...]
