Solution

The issue is that the registry has some older versions of two DW dlls (lmgract.dll and lmgract_libFNP.dll), which causes a mis-match of the libraries when I was testing and going from one version to another (within the same version).  

To fix this issue:

  1. uninstall Digital Workplace (DW)
  2. delete all of the files from the DW directory
  3. delete the registry values for the files (EX: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AdamsWeb\bin\lmgract.dll)

    1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs

    2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs

  4. re-install DW
