SAGE Payroll won't start on Windows 11 _DLL file error
Solvednewman_pr -
Hello.
I have the software SAGE Payroll and HR i7 v11.20 that I installed and have always used on Windows 10 without any problem.
I purchased a new computer with Windows 11 and when I install the same version of SAGE PAY with the same setup, it does not launch and sends an error message (see screenshot):
"GSWDDL32.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Please reinstall the program...."
I have tried several maneuvers without success, always running the program as Administrator:
- Updating, uninstalling, and reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable;
- Downloading the GSWDLL32.dll file and replacing the existing file in the SAGE PAY installation directory;
- Updating Windows 11;
- Resetting the computer with Windows 11;
- Copying the GSWDLL32.dll file into the "C:\Windows\System32" directory
And yet the software installs and runs without any issue on Windows 10.
Could you please help me?

It worked on the first try!
Thank you so much Fraise_Vapeur, I had been trying for 2 months in vain!
