to start, i did see that users have posted similar questions to the one i am going to ask but they are either highly specific answers or for web development. so here we go....
I am writing a plug-in application for Autodesk Revit so it will communicate with SAP2000 via their respective APIs. pretty straight forward stuff. The SAP reference is COM and was attached as such. The issue is when i reference it in code
with the using keyword, the namespace is not found. and when i build the solution i get the following error:
Error 1
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException - Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY))
C:\SmartShare\scripts\Revit\branches\BH_Revit_2011\BH_Revit\TlbImp
BH_Revit
after a bit of research, i re-registered the SAP2000 type library using regtlibv12. i did this on the .exe and .tlb files and the program reported that the registrations were successful. still getting problems with the build. i then use
tlbimp to manually create the Interop....dll file with the intention of just adding the dll as the reference. this is where i get the 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED) exception. ran it with the '/verbose' parameter and this was the output (output
was identical when i ran it on the .tlb):

so took a look at the .tlb file with
dependencywalker2.2 (depends) and and it displays nothing and gave me "Error: At least one file was not a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module." next i looked at the .exe file and it's telling me that i'm missing a couple of files so i located
them and dropped them in the \SAP2000 14 folder but the issue seems to be the following errors:
*****************************************************************************
Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
*****************************************************************************
the structure of the SAP2000.exe is as follows
SAP2000.EXE
MSVBVM60.dll
[a bunch of stuff]
.
.
.
.
.
.
and i see in depends that SAP2000 and MSVBVM60 are built against a x86 machine while all the other dlls under MSVBVM60.dll as built against a x64 machine.
not sure where to go from here. any input would be highly appreciated. thanks.
