What could cause a dll to load when published but not when ran from SED ?

I'm trying to get FMOD working on A7

the dll should be in the acknex_plugins folder, in your game folder, or in any folder defined via PRAGMA_PLUGIN.

When running from SED i would suggest you to put it into the acknex_plugins folder, this will work for 100% (ofc only if the dll itself loads correctly).

TechMuc, it doesn't load for dark even if he place dll in acknex_plugins, but it works for me if I simply place dll in projects folder... this is really strange.

as 3run says, its in all folders, i tried pragma_plugin also, nothng works, but as soon as i compile and start with the exe... its fine

[EDIT]
btw, this is the fmod dll for A7

most probably the loading of the dll fails.. do you have the source of the dll? if you try to debug into the DllMain method and check if it's called (if it is, at least the engine trys to load the dll ).

happy birthday btw

well no i dont, i think it was created by heelX who seems to no longer care much for maintaining it i guess but it works for 3run and other users, same GS version, soo.. i'm at a loss ...

If you have plugins in your acknex_plugins folder, those plugins will be loaded when starting through SED but not when starting the published .exe. So maybe another plugin makes problems in combination with the fmod.dll, a plugin that is only loaded when the engine is started through SED. But because this plugin isn't used it's not included to the published project and thus the fmod.dll works in this case.

removed all except the needed FMOD dlls and.... still failed, this is really strange though

maybe you need to install a dependency. like vcredist. run dependency walker on the wrapper dll.

ok i did and this was the result:
