Can't find SimConnect.dll #1

Closed CyrilPaulus closed 3 years ago

CyrilPaulus commented 3 years ago

I have to following error when trying to launch vfrmap.exe

`panic: Failed to load D:\SimConnect.dll: The specified module could not be found.

goroutine 1 [running]: main.main() /users/lian/prj/go/lian/msfs2020-go/vfrmap/main.go:76 +0x88b`

Strange, for me when I run the exe, SimConnect.dll is created. That is to say, vfrmap.exe is the only file in the folder, upon running it, SimConnect.dll then also appears in the folder.

yea, vfrmap.exe looks for SimConnect.dll in your current folder, and otherwise auto creates it. my only guess for your issue might be a permission issue on your D:\ top level folder and doesn't allow vfrmap.exe to auto create SimConnect.dll.

try to move the vfrmap.exe to a different folder. maybe for a test simply to your desktop folder.

When I run vfrmap.exe I see that the SimConnect.dll is created but I still have this message.

I tried in different folder and they all have the correct access rights. I tried running it with an admin cmd, and still it won't work.

@CyrilPaulus sorry, i'm unable to reproduce this. and don't have enough windows knowledge how best to debug this. have you tried on your C: disk?

please report back if you figure out this issue, or maybe someone else does.
