The file was copied properly, My instinct is the problem has to do with the OS but I want to see if there is a way to resolve this.
Sounds like you have to take it up with the OS manufacturer then. Duncan Murdoch

I am now running it from a different computer. As far as I can tell the only difference is that his OS is VISTA and mine is Windows 7. Can that really be the problem?!?! What makes you think the file got copied properly to the different computer? By the way, I've looked at the code, and it doesn't appear to be worth the trouble to replace that %1, because dyn.load() is platform-neutral, while the message only has that format in Windows. The full error message (which it would have helped if you'd shown) is something like: unable to load shared object 'D:/stuff/junk.dll': LoadLibrary failure: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. The %1 is just the file listed on the previous line.

(I'm not sure if I can fix it to replace the %1 with the filename; I'll look into that.) How do you know your dbsvls.dll really is valid?

I have the file as a .dll file. I have been trying to call the routine using the dyn.load function. I am working on a 32-bit windows 7 OS with 3 GB. For some reason i still keep getting the error message LoadLibrary %1 is not a valid Win32 application I looked at previous posting and they were all related to people trying to run dll files that was created under 64bit and not under 32bit. But I am running it on the correct settings. I have placed the .dll file in the BIN folder so R can find it. Any thoughts? ideas on how I should handle this? Why don't you tell us what you did?
