Ok, so the WDLV does not load. Please do the following 3 steps IN THE GIVEN ORDER:

1. Check the file date of WDLV.DLL compared with the file date of the other files. If WDLV.DLL is the only one with a file date _after_ installation, then something on your PC is overwriting it. I've uploaded the WDLV.DLL separately here:

http://server.conitec.net/down/wdlv.dll

Please download it, copy it in your Gamestudio folder, and check if WDLV is now loaded and works. If not, got to step 2.


2. Activate the Windows Update function of your PC. If it's not already activated, what I suspect, you'll now get a list with lot of urgent updates to install. The update you need is the Windows Framework. Let it download and install automatically, and then try again. If WDLV still does not work, go to step 3.


3. Download and install the following file:

http://server.conitec.net/down/vcredist_x86.exe

This should fix MFC on your PC.

Please let me know how this worked out.

i went through all the stages you have surgested and downloaded .net framework 3 aswell from microsoft, then rebooted and reinstaled gstudio, still got the same problem.i have seen several other people with the exact same problem, could this be a bug with extra version.

I don't think it's related to the extra version.

We can't confirm the problem on any of our test PCs we have here, so the next step would be implementing diagnostic messages in the WDLV for finding which library or whatever is missing on your machine. The most common problem is MFC because many software products overwrite it, but when step 3 did not work on your PC, it must be something different.

I'll be away next week, but after my return I'll generate a special diagnostics WDLV for you. We'll find that problem.

hi jcl i have worked a way around the problem with the help from someone on the forums, basicly i installed version 7.07 then copied version 7.10 over that installation and then put my key in the installation file.

Hi jcl

I have exactly the same problem. I am not running an anti-virus program and I have an updated Vista installation.I am running 7.10 Commercial. The wdlv.dll file is dataed 3/3/08

I have no Project Manager and no T7 Wizard

EDIT: I have installed the 7.07 version and then 7.1 as firelord suggested, and it has fixed the problem. (Thanks firelord)

Thanks for the info! Can one of you do a little test for me?

The old version, 7.07, contained 6 DLLs in the folder:

mfc80, msvcp80, msvcr80.dll

and

mfc71, msvcp71, msvcr71.dll

Can you, just for testing, temporarily remove first the 3 "..80", and then the 3 "..71" DLLs from the installation folder, and test whether the problem appears again after the first or second removal?

The DLLs are the Microsoft MFC Dlls and they are supposed to be automatically installed to the Windows System folder - Version 7.10 contained a Microsoft merge module for this. Apparently, the merge module did not fix the DLLs on your PC and your test would give me a hint which part did not work. Maybe some DLLs of the same name, but faulty versions were installed by some other software in your Windows system folder.

jcl taken first 3 out the 80's and it still works but when i take out the 71 's it does not work reintsalled 71's and project wizard works again.
i hope this helps maybe someone else could test the same thing just to make sure.
thanks firelord

Hi

I repeated the tests and can confirm that removing the '80s' made NO difference.
Removing the '71s' caused the Project Manager and the Wizard to NOT appear.

Glad to help

drac.

Ok, thanks.
