FreePIE Not Finding Visual C++ .DLLs OR Wiimote plug-in not working

[RosesHaveThorns]

I have recently installed FreePIE and found that when I run a script e.g. def update(): vJoy[1].setButton(0, wiimote[1].buttons.button_down(WiimoteButtons.A)) if starting: update()

It gives the error:

and sometimes opens a dialogue box telling me that a dll is missing. I've worked out that the dll is from visual c++ redistribution, and I have multiple version of it installed. I have reinstalled FreePIE to no avail.

It also happens with the scripts from Example Scripts

NOTE: the dll problem seems to be fixed now I have 'repaired' the 2010 visual distribution. The error seems to be different (caused by the wiimote plug-in) so i have changed the title.

@cowminer27 please try replacing Dolphiimote.dll with this one: Dolphiimote.zip

Hi @zelmon64,

I recently installed FreePIE and was receiving the same module missing error after a fresh install. I tried replacing the Dolphiimote.dll you provided and I am getting a new issue. The program crashes on run. The error in %appdata%/FreePIE shows:

Next, I tried to run it as administrator, and received this error:

@cowminer27 I've managed to reproduce this error. It needs to be fixed but in the meantime you can disable Dolphiimote logging. To do this go to Settings -> Plugins-> Wiimote and uncheck Enable logging. If this doesn't work make sure Log level is set to Warning.

[zelmon64]

@cowminer27 would you like to try this prerelease with the Dolphiimote logging enabled? It works for me but I would like it to be verified before I merge the code FreePIE.1.10.692.0_prerelease1.msi.zip

[RosesHaveThorns]

Sorry, ive been away over the weekend. I shall try this tommorow abd let you know.

BTW, the prerelease build is working for me at least. Thanks @zelmon64!
