Hi Lee,

Message is simple enough. TM1top wasn't distributed (originally at least) with all the required dll files. Just go to your "bin" folder in the TM1 installation on your PC and copy the tm1lib.dll file from there in to the directory top is running from. You might find it's missing some others too, but just copy that one, run top and if it gives you the same message for a different file copy that across as well.
If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.

To avoid DLL complexities, I recommend copying TM1TOP.EXE _to_ the bin directory, then it'll pick up what it needs.

Yep, perfectly acceptable as long as the IT Gestapo haven't locked down the directory ;)
