Does it exist in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ on your machine?
Yes, there is a common.dll there.
I think that syswow64 is not in my %PATH%, but currently I'm at work
and cannot check.
I also do not know how to examine wether this one is 32 or 64 bit.
(And even that one is 32-bit and the header is wrong, the errormessage
would still be wrong, since it explicitely mentions
C:\Windows\system32).
The compiler finds the DLL by looking to C:\Windows\system32. As
mentioned in another e-mail, the fact that this request is redirected to
C:\Windows\SysWOW64 instead by the underlying operating system is a MS
Windows trickery - feel free to complain at Microsoft. ;-)
