Do you have the .NET 2.0 framework package installed?

What kind of error do you get? What do you mean by "No information is displayed 
with the DLL"?

You're not trying to open the DLL file, right?

No, It's not loading into Rainmeter.
"Image" is the Plugin folder in the program files
"plugin" is the Plugin window in Rainmeter.

It's easy to see that InputText.dll is not loading as Windows can't read the 
Library

It might also help to say that when the Plugin is needed by a skin. the "Logs" 
return an error saying "Plugin: "C:\Program 
Files\Rainmeter\Plugins\InputText.dll" not found."

The InputText.dll plugin does not have the "version info" field for Windows 
binaries marked out, so the missing details in Image.bmp is expected.

However, Rainmeter should definitely display InputText with correct details in 
the About window. This is most likely a .NET related issue. Could you try 
installing .NET 2.0 and try again?

OK, it worked by downloading the framework. But I am keen for InputText to work 
when .NET 4.0 is installed because it supports all former frameworks.

Our .NET/C# guy is busy right now, but I'll make sure he reads this when he's 
back.

.NET 2.0 assemblies require that .NET 2.0 - 3.5 is installed (even if 4.0 is 
installed), so marking as invalid.
