Hi FME Fans,

Is there a way to run a .dll file from within FME and also pass data to it?

Cheers

You could try the SystemCaller and execute the regsvr32 command. Not sure about passing data into the .dll, I would imagine that's done through parameters and as the SystemCaller allows you to construct a command line that would be the first thing to try.

The easiest may be to use the PythonCaller and the ctypes module, but it depends on the contents and the usage of the dll.
