Is there a maximum size for a windows plugin?

What could cause the dll to not be written out correctly?

thanks

Definitely look in the hidden directories (on my machine it's in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data) where RB writes out it's DLL's and see if an old one already exists. if it cannot be overwritten that could be one cause.

If you have an app that didn't shut down properly then the existing DLL could still be in use and so cannot be overwritten.
I've run into that one before.

If you have another application open that wrote out a DLL with the same name and that app is running, you can have this sort of issue. Worse is that if the DLL has the same name you can get weird behavior in the new app if the existing DLL has different functionality in it. You may see "old" bugs because the old DLL is the one actually in use.
