As further info...It seems this error is related to trying to access a 32-bit dll with a 64-bit Perl app. I found this about how to create a registered component, but not sure what .dll to target. Possibilities are SSVB.DLL, SSUS16.DLL, SSSCC.DLL,SSGUI.DLL, and SSAPI.DLL. I'm guessing maybe the SSVB one, but not sure. If anyone knows, would appreciate guidance.
