Hello William, I also had this problem. I solved it by using a tool called DependencyWalker. It is provided with the VisualStudio IDE. Analyze your COM-Dll with this tool and you will see the modules/dlls that are missing on your system. Cheers, Norbert ;)

Dim textConverter As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding Dim bytes() As Byte = textConverter.GetBytes("Text to convert") Alexei Rodriguez

Thank you so much for your help. But I really need a simple way to call a method in a COM object from a Java application. William
