Symptom

Trying to connect to a web service and getting the following error message:

The above error occurs immediatle after creating the SoapConnection object in the following code:

soapconnection conn

long ll_rtn

currencyserverwebservice pobj

conn = create soapconnection

//The error occurs here

ll_rtn = conn.createinstance(pobj, "currencyserverwebservice")

Environment

PowerBuilder

Windows 7 64-bit

Cause

This error was caused because the libea32.dll was being loaded from the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder instead of the Shared\PowerBuilder folder. This was determined by running process monitor when trying to run the application. The following were the entries in the Process Monitor console/log:

CreateFile C:\Program Files

(x86)\Appeon\PowerBuilder 170\LIBEAY32.dll NAME NOT FOUND

Desired Access: Read Attributes, Disposition: Open, Options: Open Reparse Point,

Attributes: n/a, ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a

CreateFile

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\libeay32.dll SUCCESS Desired Access: Read

Attributes, Disposition: Open, Options: Open Reparse Point, Attributes: n/a, ShareMode:

Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a, OpenResult: Opened

Resolution

Renaming the C:\Windows\SYSWOW64\libea32.dll enabled the Shared\PowerBuilder\libea32.dll to load and solved the problem.
