Which products are affected?
ESP-DDS1-B (Global Drive PLC Developer Studio Basic version 1.4)
ESP-DDS1-P (Global Drive PLC Developer Studio Professional version 1.4)
Global Drive Control light version 4.2 (scope of delivery of DDS V1.4)
System bus driver update version 1.7 (available via Internet)
How is the reaction?
After Global Drive Control Light has been started, an error message promps that file MFC42D.DLL is missing.
When does the problem occur?
After the installation of the system bus drive update Global Drive Control Light no longer finds the file MFC42D.DLL.
Possible diagnostics?
none
Short-term measures/recommendations?
File MFC42D.DLL is in the directory Diagnostics of the program DDS (..\Programme\Drive PLC Developer Studio 1.4\Diagnostics). Copy the file from this directory to the directory ..\WINNT\System32. Global Drive Control light will then work again without errors.
Evaluation:
The funtion restriction can simply be eliminated by the described measure. Global Drive PLC Developer Studio version 1.4 is not affected by this restriction.
Together with Global Drive PLC Developer Studio version 2.1, the software Global Drive Control Easy version 4.41 is delivered which is not affected by this problem, either.
