Could not import vxlapi: Could not find module 'vxlapi64' (or one of its dependencies). #1761

Closed Dr-Br0t closed 6 months ago

Describe the bug

I have been working with this library on Windows 10 for some months, I am trying to run some scripts into my new Windows 11 computer, but when I run the script appears an error with this description: "Could not import vxlapi: Could not find module 'vxlapi64' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax."

I don not remember if I had to do an special step aside installing the Vector XL drivers. I will appreciate any kind of help.

To Reproduce

Could not import vxlapi: Could not find module 'vxlapi64' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.

Expected behavior

The script should run

Additional context

OS and version: Windows 10, python 3.11 Python version: 3.11 python-can version: 4.3.1 python-can interface/s (if applicable): Vector

Code: from can import Notifier, SizedRotatingLogger from can.interfaces.vector import VectorBus

Error: Could not import vxlapi: Could not find module 'vxlapi64' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.

Same problem on Windows 11. I've fixed it by installing XL Driver Library and manually coping the new file "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vector\XL Driver Library 20.30.14\bin\vxlapi64.dll" into "C:\Windows\System32", as reported here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74755120/could-not-import-vxlapi-could-not-find-module-vxlapi64
