[mapguide-users] Cannot find webunmangedapi

[Mark Chan]

 Thanks Jackie.
I found the problem when you mentioned about the Path. i saw my code on my dev(global.asax) that i was pointing my ini on my local folder, then ofcourse on the prod machine it will be diff. after i removed that it worked perfectly fine now.
Thanks again for the help    On Wednesday 7 May 2025 at 07:58:08 GMT-4, Jackie Ng via mapguide-users <mapguide-users at lists.osgeo.org> wrote:  
 
 This is most strange. When loading any of the OSGeo.MapGuide dlls, the first place Windows tries to find the *UnmanagedApi.dll files is generally the same directory.
I would be interested to know what directories it's trying (and failing) to load these UnmanagedApi.dll files from. You could try using a tool like Process Monitor and attach to the IIS process (I think it's w3wp.exe) and listen on filesystem events and see all the failed attempts to read any of the UnmanagedApi.dll files to see what paths it's trying to load these dlls from.
A possible nuclear solution is to edit your PATH environment variable and explicitly add in your expected directory. Windows should honor this variable when looking for dlls. But this should be the last resort because as already stated Windows should've looked in the directory with the OSGeo.MapGuide dlls first

Hi,
Any idea why this is happening? im getting an error the webunmanageapi.dll cannot be found. But its on the folder.. Funny thing is, this use to work before, then i made changes and deployed my stuff (.net dll).. then this came out.. now the only way i get around with this is i copy back the old dll i have and put the new ones. But when i restart the pool this error goes back again and i have to do the same cycle again, copy my old dll(.net codes)
any help?
