Hello Steve,
to answer your questions:
- Mach4 SDK v3485 (that's why it isn't located in C:\Mach4 folder)
- Windows 7 x64
- The problem happens on start-up without any other actions performed.
- The message is created as log file in plugins folder in file coreinit.log. It seems the whole logging mechanism is new, at least I haven't seen it since 2013.
- Error message, partly in German language:
(1) Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.
: Handle in NULL! Failed to load core at 'G:\VS-Project2008\test-3485\Plugins\Mach4Core.dll'.
- Screenset is blank.set (an empty screen), but also tried it with my custom screen set before. It does not matter.
- Only files located in plugins folder is simulation plugin. It is enabled and the active output device. But it is also does not depend on whether there's a plugin or not, error remains the same.
- No wizards and/or custom macros in profile.
- Profile: fresh created profile.
- Modules folder is empty (just to make sure it's not smth related to it).
The reason for the error is obvious: Mach4Core.dll is located in main folder, not in plugins subfolder. I think smurph has to take over.
