Running Windows PKCS11 and getting failed to initialise

[Makeshift123]

Hello

Can you assist as I am trying to run any of the C programs but getting Failed to Initialise this is after the build was done on powershell with objects and the .exe created:

PS C:\Users\Administrator\build\src\encrypt\Debug> ./aes_ecb.exe --pin <username:<password
Failed to initialize

Also the [--library <path/to/pkcs11>] is this where the PATH of the .dll has been installed:

PS C:\Users\Administrator\build\src\encrypt\Debug> ./aes_ecb.exe --pin <username:<password --library C:\Program Files\Amazon\CloudHSM\lib\cloudhsm_pkcs11.dll

C:\Program could not loaded. Check file exists.
Getting PKCS11 function list failed!

What am I doing wrong?

I agree - The library parameter requires the full path to the file, not just the folder.

I am also getting the same issue (Failed to initialize) with a Windows EC2 instance on AWS. AWS support suggested to try this with a Linux EC2, which I did and it also got stuck on the same step.

Can anyone please advise

@Makeshift123 From the error you posted, it looks like a " " was in the path to the file. Is that the case? Could you enclose the full path in quotes?

@gertbza Are you able to provide the error you see when attempting to run the samples?
