# ** Error: (vsim-PLI-3002) Failed to load PLI object file "\win32aloem/../win32aloem/convert_hex2ver.dll".

The convert_hex2ver.dll contains the convert_hex2ver function that has been replaced by a Verilog task in the  220model.v and altera_mf.v library files.

To avoid this error, remove the modelsim.ini file located in your ModelSim project directory or edit the modelsim.ini file and remove the following line:

Veriuser = /../win32aloem/convert_hex2ver.dll
