DS XI3.2 SP1 - Problem when starting RFC server from management console

Question

Hi,
We're using DataServices XI 3.2 SP1 FP1 on a windows 2008 server 64bits to load SAP BW. We have set up an external system in SAP BW called "DI_SOURCE" and then successfully created a RFC server interface (DI_SOURCE) within the management console.
When we try to start this RFC server from the management console, we immediately get the following error message : "An internal error occurred in: server.start()::rfc_bad_connection".
On the other hand, when we follow the "old method" (pre SP2) and start the RFC server from a command window, it works : we have "CONNECTION DI_SOURCE OK" in SAP BW.
Any ideas how to solve this ?
Thanks,
Olivier

Hi,
We have tried your suggestions above.
Instead of just crashing we now get an error from designer (before closing down). Seems as if our librfc32.dll has a problem.
We have verified that the librfc32.dll from the Data Services package is the only one on the server.
