MVC4 App "Unable to load DLL 'libmp3lame.32.dll'

Question

I am trying to use the NAudio.Lame library in an MVC4 application and am getting the error:

Unable to load DLL \'libmp3lame.32.dll\': The specified module co         


        

Answer 1

I made it work by having the LameDLLWrap assembly as a separate one, rather than embedding it in the main assembly. Since I know that my target system is 32 bit, I can afford having a single assembly -- this is simpler for me than playing with PATH on the hoster's machine.

Here's what I did:

1. Cloned the source
2. Checkout the Experimental branch
3. Removed the embedded assemblies from the main project
4. Set the reference to the wrapper to Copy Local
5. Recompiled everything
