Problem with Windows #120

Closed hdid closed 10 years ago

hdid commented 10 years ago

I installed Windows version (TBB 3.6beta2 + fteproxy 0.2.6) but when i execute fteproxy.exe, it gives this output and exits: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "fteproxy", line 34, in File "fteinit.pyc", line 24, in File "fte\encoder.pyc", line 24, in File "fte\dfa.pyc", line 24, in File "fte\cDFA.pyc", line 12, in File "fte\cDFA.pyc", line 10, in __load ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found."

I also installed "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package" but didn't help

Thank you for the report!

This is an issue with the packaging process for the Tor Browser Bundle, and not an issue with fteproxy itself. Please see [1] for a ticket that I've opened on the Tor Trac system, and follow that for updates.

Today i downloaded new version for Tor (build 11-Apr-2014 ) but seems that they did not patch and same issue appears! too bad i can't run in win...

Hi hdid,

(1) You will see the ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found." error because fteproxy.exe relies upon libgmp-X.dll (in the PluggableTransports parent directory.) You can copy the dll manually or add the parent directory to your PATH. (2) I've made a number of changes (and fixed a problem that surfaced when investigating this issue) but my changes [1] haven't been pushed upstream yet. They're waiting on Mike Perry, of the Tor Project, to accept them. Until then, I expect it will still be broken...

I don't have an ETA for when this will be pushed upstream. If it is urgent for you, then you may post a comment here [2], to get Mike's attention.

Thanks Kevin; [2] done

kpdyer commented 10 years ago

Looks like it has been merged upstream [1]. Cool!

Can you try (1) and let me know if it works for you?
