Cause

The directory path to the location of the "nnotes.dll" was not defined in the current Windows PATH variable.

Solution

To add to the Windows PATH variable the path containing the "nnotes.dll" file:

1. Right client on "My computer" - select "Properties"  - "Advanced tab" and "Environment Variables"

2. Under the "System variables" section, highlight the "PATH" setting and choose "Edit" and add the missing .dll file path.

3. Reboot the server after making changes.
