Been using Blat to send out emails for years, evidently so long that I
can't remember how to set it up (so to speak)
Copied the Blat.dll file to a folder on my Windows 10 machine, when
trying to send an email I get an error message cannot load 32-bit dll????
Am "assuming" this will work with Windows 10?
Suggestions to get this to work?
Thank You and Regards,
Desmond

Did you register the DLL with Windows?

Does it have any dependencies, possibly Visual C++ DLLs that also need to be there ?

Not that I am aware off. In Windows 7 (Professional), on a network
drive, and local drive it works fine and does not seem to be registered?

Download and try 64-bit version:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/blat/files/Blat%20Full%20Version/64%20bit%20versions/
I have not tested it yet, I do not use Win10 at all.

Windows 10 here and the old version works fine just with the DLL in the base folder of the application.

Thank you... That is exactly what I have seen with Windows 7, which is

I suspect there's a runtime DLL dependency other than blat itself.
You might try downloading and installing the full version and test the
exe to see if that would work.
IIRC, I usually set it up by using the EXE to get the configuration
options correct, and there was a command-line switch to save a few of
them (server, port, etc.) and then code those settings using the DLL.
