MechWarrior 2: Resource Forum

I just downloaded the, I think, most recent version and I am getting this error when trying to run it under Win XP Home SP3.

DOes anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Drop MechVM.exe into Depency Walker to check for missing DLLs:

Still getting an error with 2 files in the Dependacy checker having to do with IE and with 2 MechVM files.

And the same error when running.

You are the first to report this. Please tell me what operating system you use (version, service pack, 32 or 64 bit). I have tested MechVM on Windows XP and Windows 7, and it worked for me. SDL also works on most systems. I don't know what would cause this. Which DLL's does Dependency Walker (DW) report as missing? While DW lists GPSVC.DLL and IESHIMS.DLL as missing, these are not used directly by MechVM or SDL, so there appears to be no problem. These error messages appeared recently in Windows, and they do not help at all to diagnose the problem. Earlier versions of Windows would state which DLL is missing.

Hello

When I first ran DW it listed msdcp90.dll, msvcr90.dll and efsadu.dll as missing.
I DLed those and extracted them to the system32 folder, then DW listed what I posted.
Windows XP Home SP3 32bit 1gHz AMD, 512 mbs RAM, Nvidia 2 MX 400 64 mbs RAM.

Did you see the error that MechVM and SDL.DLL are throwing in DW?

I can and will provide you with anything else you might need.

I think I posted a fixed executable in some thread, but I cannot find it anymore. I think I'll prepare a new executable over the next couple of days.
