installer does not register _natlink_core_.pyd

[quintijn]

After downloading natlink natlink5.1.0-py3.8-32-setup.exe and executing this file, it seems the admin mode is not activated, although I clicked for it. The inno setup program cannot register _natlink_core.pyd.

When developing on my other computer all works smooth. Also after download and the warning of potential dangerous software, the admin mode is asked for and the installer runs.

What can be the difference?

Make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable when compiling See https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/natlink/issues/86#issuecomment-1048869238

Install https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

To test that you have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable bake in to the dll.

• note you will need to find the path to dumpbin.exe

  .'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\bin\Hostx86\x86\dumpbin.exe' /DEPENDENTS "C:\Program Files (x86)\Natlink\site-packages\natlink_natlink_core.pyd"
