https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Unable-to-load-shdocvw-dll-or-ieframe-dll-in-Blue-Prism/m-p/80062#M31852 I am trying to use code stage to create and use Internet Explorer COM object in Blue prism, like this: Dim ie as InternetExplorer ie = new InternetExplorer But when I tried to add external .dll reference, I got "Unable to load reference library" error. I tried both "shdocvw.dll" and "ieframe.dll", both failed. Can anyone give me some hints? external reference setting Error message Thu, 01 Nov 2018 05:51:00 GMT WilliamZhang 2018-11-01T05:51:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Unable-to-load-shdocvw-dll-or-ieframe-dll-in-Blue-Prism/m-p/80062#M31852 I am trying to use code stage to create and use Internet Explorer COM object in Blue prism, like this: Dim ie as InternetExplorer ie = new InternetExplorer But when I tried to add external .dll reference, I got "Unable to load reference library" error.

Like wise you can create custom VBO's with your requirement. NOTE: This may cause errors while deploying the solution to other environment. The solution will be dependent on the .dll reference if not found, code/BOT will crash.

There must be way more serious issue with this. It would be nice, if someone at would explain why this happens. The issue is quite significant, because it makes it impossible to implement some specific code stages. Any ideas/solutions how to make BP cooperate with this library?

Otherwise, you can use creative trickery with Reflection in C#... Gotta love Daves pro pics, lol.
