Title: Brand new Win10 laptop, Mach 4 cannot load library (Error 126 on startup)
Post by: Dagerman on September 24, 2020, 05:05:17 PM

Hi there,
I just downloaded the trial of Mach4 (current Mach3 user) onto a brand-new laptop running Windows 10. Installation went without error, but when starting Mach4, it complains about not being able to load shared libraries (sim.m4pw is one of them).
The error message states: Error 126: The specified module could not be found). I have validated that all libraries mentioned in the error messages are present in the plugins folder.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I have already removed and re-installed without success.

Thanks!
Stefan

Uninstall
reboot the PC
Reinstall MACH4
REBOOT THE PC FIRST before opening MACH4

Duh, I forgot that I am running Windows.... A simple reboot did the trick. *embarrassed*

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"....

THANK YOU!!
