PRB: Image Difference Applier Error

[Tony Y]

I'm having trouble with the IDA portion of the ImageDiff tool. Has
anyone seen this error? I'm using the the IDiff.xml file that comes
with the tool. Are there modifications that need to be made to the
file?

Thanks,
Tony

The following is the solution to the posted problem (Thanks Jon!).

"The error you specify tells me that IDA can't find an engine DLL to
handle the <IDIFF-Input> element. IDA reads and can handle the
IDIFFOUT.XML from IDIFF, and <IDIFF-Input> isn't a defined element for
that file. Make sure that the XML file you specify for IDA is the
output file from IDIFF, and not the input file for IDIFF - that has
caused issues for other customers in the past."
