Due to a security limitation in Windows, add-ins downloaded from the Internet (e.g. the forum or RobotApps) are blocked by Windows. RobotStudio will show a FileLoadException in this case.
There are two solutions to this problem
1. Unblock the .dll using Windows Explorer
Right-click the .dll in Windows Explorer → Properties → Unblock → Apply.
The change is specific to the download dll. The operation must be carried out for all downloaded .dlls
2. Modify the app config file
For a general solution that will allow any downloaded dll to work directly without proceeding as above, you can add the following lines to the file RobotStudio.exe.config:
File RobotStudio.app.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> ...On a PC with a default installation of Windows 7 - 64 bit, the files are located in the folders
C:Program Files (x86)ABB Industrial ITRobotics ITRobotStudio 5.15Bin
C:Program Files (x86)ABB Industrial ITRobotics ITRobotStudio 5.15Bin64
Note There are separate files for the 32 and the 64 bit versions of RobotStudio
Windows security settings may prevent the file from being directly edited in the default location. Copy the file to your local Documents folder to edit it. Upon completion, you need to manual copy the file back to its original location.

Note: After upgrade, or re-installation of RobotStudio, the file will revert to the default.
