Well, this seems really strange - neither Connection Manager nor TurboTax
has a <SQLite3.dll>! Here are all of the ones on the system:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\DLLs\sqlite3.dll
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\SQLite3.dll
c:\Program Files (x86)\Nuance\PaperPort\sqlite3.dll
Any other thoughts? Thanks, Joe

Richard,
Thanks for the prompt reply - much appreciated! The machine with the issue
is not onsite right now, but I expect to have it back in 4-5 hours. I will
try your suggestion then and will post the results to the group. I have
already complained to HP (both on the phone and in writing) and will file
a report with Intuit later today. Thanks again, Joe

Hi Folks,
First time poster here, so be gentle. I have an HP EliteBook 8460w running
64-bit W7. HP provides an app called the Connection Manager that allows you
to control the status of the wired, wireless, and Bluetooth connections (it
uses SQLite). CM was working fine until I installed TurboTax 2010, after
which CM stopped working. When I uninstalled and reinstalled it, I received
the following dialog box with the title<dbUpdate.exe>:
Cannot load assembly:
System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.61.0, Culture =neutral,
PublicKeyToken =db937bc2d44ff139
The application will now exit.
According to HP tech supp, this is because TurboTax is loading an older
version of the SQLite files and there is no way to fix the problem, i.e.,
you may use either use TT or CM, but not both! I'm hoping the experts in
this forum have a solution to this problem, or at least a better
work-around than uninstalling one and reinstalling the other each time I
need one of the programs.
This, of course, raises the general question of how SQLite programs/users
deal with this issue. There are many programs that use SQLite - are all of
them subject to this incompatibility issue? I find that hard to believe, as
SQLite would not be a viable product if this were the case. Thanks much for
your thoughts. Regards, Joe
All: What was it I was saying just the other day about statically
linking???
Joe: SQLite is always backwards compatible. But new features tend to
appear in new releases. I suspect what is happening here is that HP
Connection Manager is using newer features of SQLite that did not exist in
the older version of SQLite that TurboTax is loading. I fuss and fuss that
applications should statically link their preferred version of SQLite so
that this kind of thing won't happen, but nobody pays me much mind. Please
complain to both HP and Intuit about this as they might listen to you more
than they listen to me. Meanwhile, I suggest you locate the SQLite3.dll
file (or files) on your machine and replace them all with the latest
version of SQLite3.dll that you can download from
http://www.sqlite.org/download.html and that will probably fix your
troubles, unless TurboTax has taken extraordinary measure to prevent you
from doing so. Please let us know how this goes.
