Summary0001682: "Unable to create" VST2 plugin
Description

Attempting to add the attached plugin to any module, or to load any module using this plugin, triggers this error message:

Unable to create plugin "limiter"!

Attempting to load the plugin using the bridge, regardless of the compatibility checkbox, gives:

The specified module could not be found.

It was compiled a couple years ago for x64 using Visual Studio and DPF, and worked until this latest release. I don't have the source code anymore, unfortunately.

TagsNo tags attached.

Did you maybe reinstall your Windows installation or are testing this on a different machine? The error message hints at a dependency of the plugin not being present, the most likely candidate being the MSVC2015 runtime libraries (VCRUNTIME140D.DLL / VCRUNTIME140_1D.DLL): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685

@manx there's also an issue with the error message encoding we should look into.

In fact those are debug versions of the MSVC2015 runtime library, which are not included in the download mentioned above. You will have to obtain them from a VS2015 installation.

Oh.

I did uninstall Visual Studio, in fact. Sorry!
Thanks for taking the time to chase down the dependencies.

You're welcome. For future reference, if a plugin doesn't load with the error message that you received, you can use Dependency Walker or the more up-to-date Dependencies can be used to track down which dependent libraries are missing.
