gdipp_common_32.dll not found

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.
Every program I try to start.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Uninstalling 0.8.1 and update to 0.8.2
2. After completing step one, every version of gdipp gives the error outlined 
beneath, even 0.7.6.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the service to start. Except I get an error at the installation. The 
service can't start. If I choose ignore and the installation finishes, every 
program I try to start (including Windows at boot) gives the error message that 
gdipp_common_32.dll cannot be found.

What version of gdipp (including renderer)? On which operating system?
0.8.2, Freetype, Windows 7 x32

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.
I solved this problem by placing the missing file in System32!

I have exactly the same issue.(Issue 88) just tried, however, putting the file 
in system32 folder didn't solve the problem in my case.

Any screenshot about the error? How about the latest versions?

Latest version has exactly the same problem, plus it can't find easyhook DLL. I 
corrected that also by copying it to System32.
I'm going to reinstall Windows though to see if the problem continues.

It's exactly like this error, but with gdipp_common_32.dll.

Try to add gdipp's directory to the Path environment variable.

Hello,

I use gdipp on Windows 7 64-bit Professional SP1 and have been experiencing 
this very same problem as well.  In attempts to resolve it, I too tried adding 
the gdipp installation path to the PATH environment variable and putting 
gdipp_common_32.dll into the C:\Windows\System32 directory without any luck.  
But then, an important thought occurred to me; even though Flash runs as a 
32-bit application, the installer itself is a 64-bit one.  This combinational 
scenario actually comes up often on Linux operating systems.  

For this reason, I wondered what would happen if I had a reference to the 
gdipp_common_32.dll library in Windows' 64-bit System directory, SysWOW64.  As 
it turned out, this was the key to resolving the issue on my system.  To 
achieve this, I simply performed the following steps:

1.  Open a command prompt with elevated privileges -- that is, run it as 
administrator.
2.  Once open, type the following commands:

    cd %windir%\SysWOW64
    mklink gdipp_common_32.dll "C:\Program Files (x86)\gdipp\gdipp_common_32.dll"

    NOTE: The mklink command creates a symlink in the SysWOW64 directory to the gdipp_common_32.dll file in gdipp's installation directory.

Afterwards, the Flash installer should no longer complain about missing the 
gdipp_common_32.dll library file.  In short, I hope this solution helps someone 
out there.

Thank you. The symlink solution helped.
