You get the above message when starting Carlson 2009 on AutoCAD. There are three possible solutions for this
issue:- Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder and find msvcr70.dll. Right-click on the file, go to Properties →
Version and note the version number. Now go to C:\Program Files\Carlson2009_ACADxx\Support folder, right-click on the
same file name, go to Properties → Version and note the version number. If this file has a higher version number
(not date) than the one in System32, then copy this file into the System32 folder and run the program.
- If the
above process doesn't resolve the issue, go to the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder again and find these two files, noting the
date of the files:
libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll
If the dates on the files do not match, then rename the
libeay32.dll file (i.e. libeay32.old) and reinstall Carlson 2009. - It is possible that some DLLs are not being
found in the Carlson Support folder (which is normally taken care of by profile). To resolve, go to Control Panel
→ System → Advanced → Environment Variables, edit variable PATH in System Variables and add
C:\Program Files\Carlson2009_ACAD##\Support; to the beginning of it (append to the contents of the field). "OK"
your way out and restart AutoCAD.
