TestRecorder : Issues when trying to add the DLLs as references in Visual Studio

I am having issues when trying to "add references" to the TestRecorder DLLs. I am using Visual Studio 2010, using Windows-7. I have installed TestRecorder V8.0.290. When I follow the instructions and try to add a reference to the following DLLs (aqCommm.dll, aqCommHelp.dll, tcHook.dll) I get an error as follows:


A reference to 'C:\...\aqComm.dll' could not be added. Please make sure the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

    Hi,



    What instructions do you mean? Where have you found a suggestion to add these modules ad references to your project?

    Here is the link to the page of notes I was referring, I read this as advising me that all of the first five DLLs are required.

    NOTE: This morning I received instructions from Allen at AutomatedQA as follows (so now I'm trying to register only the TestRecorder.DLL and having troubles with it):

    Hi Mike,

    The steps you follow are incorrect. You need to add the component to your toolbox as described in the "Installing the TestRecorder Component in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET" (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=9075) help topic. Even if the "TestRecorder Class" item is not present in the COM Components list, you only need to add the TestRecorder.dll file.


    Best regards,

    Allen

    I suggest that you continue working on this problem via e-mail with Allen.
