Unknown Error VBD.DLL is not loaded

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

In CCS v3.3 when I try to open the Message LOG window (under DSP/BIOS) I get a dialog that says

Unknown Error: A required library is not loaded: vbd.dll

I have seen a few people around the web have had this problem but I have not seen any answers for this.

Thanks,

    As this is an environment issue, I would suggest you to re-register the dll file.

    Please follow the below commands,

    regsvr32 /u <CCS Installation Path>\plugins\bios vbd.dll
    regsvr32 <CCS Installation Path>\plugins\bios vbd.dll

    OK, so I did this

    regsvr32 /u C:\CCStudio_v3.3\plugins\bios vbd.dll
    regsvr32     C:\CCStudio_v3.3\plugins\bios vbd.dll

    and got an error: Specified module could not be found

    so I searched my hard drive for VBD.DLL files and found a single file here:

    C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_33_03\packages\ti\bios\rta\vbd\CCS_3.1\bin\vbd.dll

    so I tried this:


    regsvr32 /u C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_33_03\packages\ti\bios\rta\vbd\CCS_3.1\bin  vbd.dll
    regsvr32     C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_33_03\packages\ti\bios\rta\vbd\CCS_3.1\bin  vbd.dll

    and got an error: Specified module could not be found

    then I tried this:

    regsvr32 /u C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_33_03\packages\ti\bios\rta\vbd\CCS_3.1\bin\vbd.dll
    regsvr32     C:\CCStudio_v3.3\bios_5_33_03\packages\ti\bios\rta\vbd\CCS_3.1\bin\vbd.dll

    and got the error:   ...\vbd.dll was loaded but the DLLUnregister point was not found - The File cannot be registered

    If re-registering the dll is not working for you, the fastest way to fix the issue may be just to do an uninstall/reinstall of CCS, that should reload all the dll files including vbd.dll and fix any other broken links inside CCS that could be leading to this. In general these sorts of errors mean something is corrupted somewhere within CCS which will usually be fixed by a reinstall (though reregistering the dll like this can fix such issues at times as well).

    Just somethid I think is worth mentioning, usually this/similar issues are purely related to CCS installation. Please note at first that you need to have administrator privileges on the machine where you have installed CCS. Additionally, you need to make sure that when CCS is installed and also the first time CCS is run, it is done from out of an administrator account since it needs to make registry additions and modifications to the system.

    If the instruction we sent do not work, you need to re-install CCS as Bernie mentioned go to Control Panel, run Add/Remove Programs and look at the document attached.

    OK, Thanks, That's what I figgered.

    When you say "it is done from out of an administrator account" do you mean it needs to be run from within an admin account the first time?

    Yes, first time it runs should be from an admin account.
