Can anyone give me a clue on how to fix this issue. I have just installed Clarion 11.

Just done a search of the Clarion newsgroups for that error and guess what?

and you’ve also had a bunch of posts about not being able to find the driver after registering and/or re-registering it.  
So this isn’t a new issue for you is it 🙂

Yeah, same thread on ClarionHub: [Sql anywhere driver No entry points](https://clarionhub.com/t/sql-anywhere-driver-no-entry-points/2865), still not resolved 🙂

Nope. I couldn’t get it to work then either. I ended up converting my old machine (which already had Clarion 10 installed by my predecessor who had worked with Clarion for a dozen years or more) into a vm which I’ve been running for the last two years.  
I thought it made sense to start with a new vm just for Clarion 11.  
So instead of Clarion 10 not working properly on a brand new machine, I have Clarion 11 not working properly on a brand new vm.  
It hopefully is just something simple. A setting or a path perhaps.

Too bad it’s not as simple as making sure the right driver DLLs are in the app folder.

Interesting development. I used the same installer to install Clarion 11 on my existing VM which is where I am running Clarion 10. The install went fine and I don’t have any issues with drivers or paths. My solution compiled fine but when I deployed it to the system where I do my testing it would not open.  
Is there anything that anyone can think of that may need to be updated in order for Clarion 11 programs to run?
