InputAccel and PIXDFLTN.dll


I uninstalled InputAccel 6.x the other day and tried to reinstall it. I got an error “could not find PIXDFLTN.dll”. I dutifully went to EMC’s Powerlink site and searched for “pixdfltn.dll” and found two solutions: the first said to uninstall everything, even the database server and start over again, the second said to find this dll in /windows/system32 folder of another server and copy it over. Neither of these worked. 

What I ended up doing was looking in the /client folder of the IA installation folder and found the correct PIXDFLTN.dll and everything was good again. Now EMC support, it wasn’t that hard to tell us the correct way to deal with this, was it?
