[a7.10] Wed plugins not loading in Vista 64bit - 07/17/08 08:47

I'm posting in place of a friend who uses a7.10 and Vista 64bit and can't get any of the wed plugins to load for him, like: MaxAseFiles.dll, MDLFiles.dll, WedFbxFiles.dll, or any of the dlls in the bin directory of the wedmedsdk7.zip file. His wed.log is always just this: (apparently, wdlv.dll still loads, but that's all)

Code:

load dll: WDLV.DLL
full name: <J:\Development Tools\GameStudio\GStudio7.10 Intense X\WDLV.DLL>
{wed: reset id (1->11)} {wed: reset id (2->12)} {wed: reset id (3->13)} {wed: reset id (750->14)} 
		add action: "WDL Customize" {virtual action (132)->"Wdl Edit Panel", #10000001}  [h=1(1) fl=0 typ=2 vid=132,exec=044373e0]
		add action: "Add Script" {virtual action (133)->"Project Manager", #10000002}  [h=2(2) fl=0 typ=1 vid=133,exec=044375b0]
		add action: "Entity Behavior" {virtual action (139)->"Entity Behavior", #10000003}  [h=3(3) fl=0 typ=2 vid=139,exec=044398e0]
		add action: "Project Wizard"  [h=750(750) fl=524288 typ=5 vid=0,exec=04439300]

I'll try to get him to post in this thread, in case you need more info about this bug

Cheers,
Aris

This looks as if he hasn't copied the files in the wed_plugins folder. Otherwise, even if the files would not work, the wed.log should at least contain error messages.

Can you check if the wed_plugins subfolder on his PC exists and contains the DLLs?

He says that is does. I'll ask him to make sure and direct him to this thread.

Thanks,
Aris

I used the pattern of WED* so this is not showing all files in the wed plugins folder.

Hmm. Maybe the wed_plugins folder is not scanned on a 64 bit system, but this it unlikely - maybe there is some other reason. Wladimir is on vacation right now, but when he's back he will look into that issue.

I own this one.

Apparently my procedure for keeping previous copies around as I work with new beta versions is the source of the problem.

I uninstalled and cleared the resgistry of MED, WED and ScriptEd hives.

Then I installed 7.07, 7.10 and then Intense X.

Now the plug ins are working as expected.

Sorry for raising a false flag.
