error C1084: Cannot read type library file

Question

I have a windows application including some console and c++ projects. While building application i am getting below mentioned error:-

error C1084: Cannot read type library file... Biodentify.Gina.Services.tlb: Error loading type library/dll

Does anyone know how to solve it?

Answer 1

• Is the type library at the right place?
• Are your app and the type library both 32bit or 64bit?
• Are there any includes in your type library?

If your type library includes another type library, keep in mind that the search path is the app search path.

One more tricky thing: If a type library has an include, and this included type library is registered, it will be found first.
