Title: Failed to load MachIPC.dll when trying to debug macro
Post by: compewter_numerical on March 04, 2020, 09:26:27 PM

I get the error failed to load machipc.dll when trying to debug a macro. The macro compiles and I can debug it on another computer without issue but this new installation of mach4 is giving this error. It's mach4 industrial version 4.2.0.4162.

This is a fresh installation of windows 10 x64. we installed using the .exe installer. Are there any windows dependencies needed or is there another fix to this?

Check to see if machipc.dll and screenipc.dll are in the Modules folder. If not, I believe that is the problem

The latest VCC++ Redistributable needs to be installed in order to use the debug in the LUA compiler. That is what fixed it for me. I just looked at the installed programs on the computer it was working on and tried installing the latest VCC++ Redistributable package 2015-2019 available on Microsoft website and it worked.
