Correct DLL Installation
Visimage uses several different DLLs when communicating with the host. These DLLs must be correctly installed for Visimage to work correctly.
Reflection (PPL) Connection:
Visimage uses the files PPL.DLL, RFILES.DLL and RUSER.DLL. These DLLs should be located in the Visimage installation
directory (VISWIN2). During installation, Visimage will verify the version of Reflection you are using and install the correct versions of these DLLs. Check the following table to verify if you are using the correct
DLLs.
Use File Manager or Windows Explorer to search for all occurrences of PPL.DLL. Make sure that there is one located in the Visimage installation directory (VISWIN2) and that it has the correct date. If the dates are wrong, update the appropriate files from installation disc 2 (4.01 & 4.1-4.2) or disc3 (5.x). See Extracting a file from the installation disc for more information. You will need to update PPL.DLL, RFILES.DLL, RUSER.DLL, PPLSERVE.EXE and PPLDDE.EXE (5.x only).
In addition to the DLLs mentioned above, Visimage must also have access to DLLs in the Reflection directory. Make sure that Reflection directory (R1WIN) is included in your DOS path. To check, shell to DOS and type PATH. Do not move any Reflection DLLs from R1WIN into the Visimage directory, instead modify your path to include R1WIN and reboot.

(1) For users that do not want to use a Reflection connection and specify TCP only during installation,
Visimage will install a dummy PPL.DLL file. This is because Windows requires that all DLLs be present, even if they are never called. This DLL must be deleted if you later wish to use a Reflection (PPL)
connection.
In addition to the DLLs mentioned above, Visimage must also have access to DLLs in the Reflection directory. Make sure that Reflection directory (R1WIN) is included in your DOS path. To check, shell to DOS and type PATH. Do not move any Reflection DLLs from R1WIN into the Visimage directory, instead modify your path to include R1WIN and reboot.
WINSOCK.DLL
For TCP connections you must have a TCP/IP stack installed and a WINSOCK.DLL. The directory that includes the WINSOCK.DLL must be included on
your DOS path.
If you specified Reflection only during the installation, Visimage will install a dummy WINSOCK.DLL in the Visimage installation directory. This is required if you do not have a valid WINSOCK.DLL but must be deleted if you later install a TCP/IP stack that contains a valid WINSOCK.DLL
