DR 1.2.0 troubleshooting

[ungoliant]

This thread was bound to happen anyway.

 

Alright, a minor issue i've had with 1.1.0 before has now become a major issue. Back in 1.1.0 , loading some missions like patently dangerous into DR caused an error that said:

 

"This application has failed to start because dbgeng.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".

 

For whatever reason, sometimes the error came up, sometimes not. Haven't run into it lately so i disregarded it.

 

After installing DR 1.2.0 this comes up every time i try to load DR. Where should this file be located and where can I obtain another copy? I've searched the wiki and forum for dbgeng.dll and dbgeng, nothing comes up.

Which version is it you downloaded from the website? Did you install the VC++ redist package?

 

Can someone else confirm this?

just tried reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86). no change, still the same error.

Still, which version did you download? 32 bit or x64?

woops forgot that part, 32 bit.

 

also, found a copy of dbgeng.dll on internet, copied it to system32 folder. DR no longer gives me the error window, but still crashes on load before the blue progress bar starts filling up. Heres a copy of the DR log:

Did a bit of googling and it seems like your error can occur due to NUMEROUS reasons. Have a look at this article. There are 13 ways listed how you could possibly fix the issue. Will be a bit of work, but there seems to be something off with your system, because I tested both versions before uploading and they worked perfectly...

 

That article explicitly warns of downloading random dlls from the web by the way!

 

You could also try to reregister the dll using this command "regsvr32 dbgeng.dll".

I couldn't get the new version of darkradiant to run, and my problems was that I hadn't deleted the previous version completely from the darkradiant folder, uninstall had left some files behind that were stopping the new version from running.

my problems was that I hadn't deleted the previous version completely from the darkradiant folder,

Might it be a good idea with 1.3.0 that the installer uninstalls the previous version (while saving user settings) etc..?
