Unable to load shdocvw.dll or ieframe.dll in Blue Prism

[WilliamZhang]

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

For external .dll reference, the .dll file should be preset under Blue Prism folder C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate Import the .dll with absolute path and and the namespaces required from the .dll file. 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.

Hello, The solution with placing shdocvw.dll in other locations is not helping. 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?

Any chance it's an issue with bitness?

The Strongly Named DLLs must be registered in the GAC either by using gacutil.exe in lower ENVs, or packaging the DLLs in an msi installer for PROD. Otherwise, you can use creative trickery with Reflection in C#... Gotta love Daves pro pics, lol.
