McPluginMgr.dll missing

[crankshaft]

Hi;

I have just installed the library manager for the first time, it completed successfully but errors with McPluginMgr.dll is missing.

I have searched the drive and that file is not there - where can I get it from ??

Hi, its great to see you visiting our forum. Why not try Proton Compiler for FREE? Download the FREE version of Proton Compiler, Its called Amicus18 and its available from HERE Already using proton Compiler??? Get rid of these pesky messages... get LICENSED USER STATUS

Cheers

Sounds like you have an incomplete or incorrect install of the IDE.
Do you have any other plug-ins available on your current installation?
I have never seen this error message before. I do not have mcPluginMgr.dll on my system and Library Manager runs without error. Are you sure that is the correct error message? Perhaps you have an incorrect registry entry!

Hi John;

No, I don't have any other plugins installed, but that is the error, it says it can't find it and maybe re-installing may solve it, which I have done and it doesn't

Precompiler.exe -Unable to locate Component
This application has failed to start because mcPluginMgr.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Perhaps a little more detail would be helpful.
1 When does the error appear?
2 Do you have the Library Manager Icon on the Toolbar?
3 If so can you run Library Manager
4 Is there a Pre-compiler task running in the task bar?
5 What OS are you running - Vista or XP?

Hi;

The error appears when I launch the IDE, and when I try and click on the Library manager Icon on the taskbar, Library Manager will not run, it akss for the .dll.

I am running Vista Home edition, the precompiler runs on the task bar when i first launch the IDE, but it pops up that error message, and when i click OK, it quits.

Here's the debug info:

Hope that helps ??

Edit: Oh, and I am using the latest Beta Version 3.3.051

I th9ink it is because you are running on Vista.

I don't have Vista here and I don't know of anyone who is running on Vista who has Library Manager installed.

Perhaps someone else on the Forum who has Proton running on Vista can let me know if they have managed to get Library Manager operating under Vista.

If have written plugins for Swordfish (which uses a similar IDE) successfully but in that case the IDE API and the Plugin packer has been modified to work with Vista.

I think this may well end up as David Barker question.

Hi John;

I just removed (including folders & registry settings), re-installed, updated and re-installed the library manager and it is working now !!

But.... I can add a new library, but when i try and select an existing library or create a new one, "library' is listed by default, but I cannot click it and open it.

If I use the default folder and select 'Build Library' it fails and just reports 'Unable to Build Library'.

If I create a new Folder and click OK to add it, I get a error message Access Violation 5675DB00. Read of address 5675DB0.

:-(

Thanks for your help

Cheers

EDIT: I have a icon in the system tray that saye Pre-Compiler Off, when I click it I get:

Error - Library File missing or Corrupt
Run Library Manager from
the plug-in menu before compiling

Can you explain further - give me a description of the Library Folder structure.
What have you got in your library files?

[crankshaft]

John;

Ahh, if I manually copy the library file into the folder, I am able to build it and enable the pre-compiler.

The function that does not work is the copying of a file from another folder, to the library manager's folder using the library manager.

Ok - I will look into that - I suspect not many people have used that function.
