[Linuxsampler-devel] Windows VSTi build looking for wrong DLL

[S. Christian Collins]

Hey, since both bugzilla and forum registrations seem to be broken, I am
reporting this bug here:

The latest windows VSTi (20160410) complains that it can't find
"liblinuxsampler-3.dll". Looking in the program directory, I can see
that "liblinuxsampler-3.dll" does not exist, but has been replaced by
"liblinuxsampler-4.dll".

If I create a symbolic link from "liblinuxsampler-4.dll" to
"liblinuxsampler-3.dll", then the VSTi works correctly. So, it sounds
like the VST part needs to be updated somehow to look for the correct DLL.

Are you sure that this problem still persists?

There are 3 versions of the LinuxSampler VST plugin DLL bundled with the
Windows installer: a 64 bit VST, a 32 bit non-SSE VST and a 32bit SSE VST.
I just extracted them from the latest installer and all 3 VSTs depend on
liblinuxsampler-4.dll.

Could it be possible that you were using a different VST installation path
previouisly vs. now when you executed the installer? Because obviously the
Windows installer will only replace an old VST plugin within the selected
target VST directory. It will not search the entire system for other VST
directories and replace it there as well.

Well, that seems to have been what was happening. Manually removing the
leftover instance of LinuxSampler64.dll from a different folder solved
the problem.
