Issue Details

 I currently have Enerchron Sequence Editor installed with the Enerchron CAN device plug-in. When I try to assign a CAN database to one of the CAN devices I received the error message:

Error opening – [Can Database File Path] Unable to load DLL “NIXNET.dll”: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

 

Are there any dependencies or drivers missing to get my CAN device to work?

Solution

This error is thrown when the NI-XNET driver is not installed.

 

You can resolve this error by downloading the latest NI-XNET driver from the link below:
