Hi Ron, I will try to answer each item. 
 It should work better if you complie x64 and use the path c:\Program Files\... on your C# declarations so that you don't need the PATH variable set. I always call aaApi_Initalize, then aaApi_Login, then aaApi_GetActiveDatasource. I store the result from aaApi_GetActiveDatasource so that I can call aaApi_LogoutByHandle to log out. 
 However, if what you have is working on the PC, then you may be having a permissions problem on the IE. Be sure that the user that IE is running as has access to the Bin folder so that it can run the DLL files there. Also check the location of the ProjectWise Explorer install. It may not have been installed to the same location as it was on the PC. 
 If ProjectWise Explorer is in a different location on the IE than on the PC then you would need to leave out the full path on the C# function declarations and use the PATH variable to make the DLL files discoverable.
