looks to me like this is a 'regular' dll, to be loaded with the loaddll function, and NOT a .net project at all

I have a few problem-solving suggestions for you:

a) the .NET C# component is not longer supported, use only the C++ component
b) There is a VB6 "wrapper" use this, because in the history of WinDev VB6 components seem to be compatible
c) Install every C++ runtime, try then, if it still not work, try to contact the producer of FreeImage

Hello,

Check out the open source VB6 project PhotoDemon. It is using FreeImage exclusively for loading and converting image formats.

It will give you some ideas as to how to use FreeImage library effective.
