My answer is the same. You need to install livreg2.mlib. If you cannot
use -ssc- then presumably you should install it in the same way as you
installed ivreg2.ado. As you are working in a corporate environment,
there may well be limits on what you can do and on what you can say in
public, but the rest of us cannot easily give precise advice on vague
information such as "a problem with my server".

Once you have livreg2.mlib installed, you do not run it directly
yourself: -ivreg2- (and -ranktest-) uses it on your behalf.

There appear to be some other small misunderstandings in your use of
Stata. -ivreg2- is an .ado file, not a .do file: you do not run it as
a .do file, but just type the program name. -ivreg2- also defines a
command, not a function.

I am currently using stata 12.0 and the problem is that when I run the code on from a do file stata gives me a r(3000) error message and informs me that "struct ms_vcvorthog undefined", under the subheading "LIML" of the code.
