• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello Guys!


We do have a dll which controls some dynamic object, at approx 0,5% of our users the dll can not be loaded, according the simconnect log the Error=-3 which is afaik is missing dependency. Unfortunately I can not find out more about the problem, I can not find the rootcause. As the dll is not even loaded I can not make debugging.

Do you have any suggestion how could I find out what is the problem? Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot for you help!
 
You can use this to check dependencies, although the only one that is likely is the c++ runtime library for whichever version of the compiler you are using.

Which SimConnect function is generating the exception?
 
THanks for your anwer. I'll give it a try.

No function is executed, the error comes at the very beginning when FS wants to load the dll.
 
mgh, since the DLL isn't actually loaded, it can't be debugged.

We will have to wait for feedback from affected users with dependency walker... though AFAIK VC++ 2010 redist should be enough - though it seems in some cases it isn't ?
 
You can, of course, debug a DLL in the normal way of connecting debugger to the FSX process... but not if the DLL doesn't actually load.
