Missing the ntimer dll

poppins

Hi everyone,
I am running through an automation error whenever I am trying to run a certain form. After debugging, I discovered that the missing dll is
NTimer.dll
What shall I do? If I copy the dll from another computer, would that be enough?
Thanks in advance

classic form have a timer property. you can use that instead of the dll file.

It depends. If the registry keys in background are still existing and you copy it to the same folder it was before (what is mentioned in registry) then it should work. Otherwise you could try to use the repair option of your NAV install package. Also you could register it manually by using regsvr32.

Infact, the dll didn't exist before.The NAV isn't installed in my machine, the IT guy just copied the folder Classic containing the shortcut ofinsql.exe into my computer and that's what I am using to access NAV.
So, if I am going to copy the dll, where shoud I place it?and then, should I register the dll or not?

you need development skills to make the change. i suggest to get in contact with your partner.
the other option is to register the dll as mentioned above

That's why it's recommended to always use the real install package. Copying the folder should only be used as quick solution for short time test or something like that. If you need it permanently then you should always use the installation setup.

You can place it wherever you want. After you registered it, NAV will know where to find it. I suggest to place it at the official directory (where the installation wizard would also place it). That would be %programfiles%\Common Files\%official NAV name of your current version%\Timer\NTimer.dll .
