TAS Client and Springlobby can not load unitsync.dll

[Pinocchio]

It worked fine until new release of Spring 0.87. I completely deleted Spring folder and created new one, but still I can not start TAS Client getting error "initialization of application was not successfull (0xc0150002)". When trying with Spring lobby I get: "slobby is unable to load your unitsync library. You might want to take another look at your unitsync setting"
I tried to choose the unitsync.dll manually, it is physically there, but it can not load it.
I would like to get TAS Client worked again.

screenshot ! if it's a classic tasclient error, then you probably have error details ... no details no fix, you can try "tasclient.exe -debug -log -start" and pastebin the

TASClient_Err.log
TASClient_Scripts.log
TASClient_Start.log

next to tasclient.exe

Hi Satirik,
I do not have TASClient_Start.log and TASClient_Err.log. They are not in Spring folder.
TASClient_Scripts.log:

there is no way you can have a TASClient_Scripts.log and no start

the date and time of the TASClient_Scripts.log seems ok

did you run tasclient with the arguments i gave you ?

anyway it seems you're having a corrupted or missing unitsync.dll

[Pinocchio]

I attached the scrrenshot, you can see if it is correct

[Satirik]

the -start is useless actually, delete the TASClient_Scripts.log and start again, if it writes a new TASClient_Scripts.log then you MUST have a TASClient_Start.log too if you don't then i can't help you, the start log is made at the very beginning of the tasclient code while the scripts log is done way later

[Pinocchio]

actually it does not generate any log file (I checked). The TASClient_Scripts.log I postet was mistakenly taken from the other Spring folder where is the old version of Spring 85.0 which I can run on local server.

as discussed, see attached scan of TAS Client exe with dependency walker. It found something.

[abma]

just as note: this should be fixed in the next release.

see http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=27881

"current devil in installer depends on msvcp80.dll but only msvcp71.dll is included"

we really need help to setup more automatic tests to prevent such breakages.

[Satirik]

download msvcp80.dll from the internet to you spring dir

[abma]

install this:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... st_x86.exe

should fix it.

[Pinocchio]

I put msvcp80.dll in the Spring folder. It did not generate any error but it also does not open the main window (just the loading screen and then it dissapears - no tasclient.exe found in processes). I scanned it again and it said msvcr80.dll is missing. I downloaded msvcr80.dll and put it in the Spring folder. Same result - it ends by initialising (the loading window just disappears and nothing happens). I run TASClient.exe with parameters you gave me (see attached TASClient_Start.log). I scanned it again and there is still some problem (see also screenshot).

[Pinocchio]

forgot to include this info: I also installed this: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... st_x86.exe

like abma said.

[Satirik]

and tasclient.exe is closed or you still have it in the taskbar ?

if you can see it in the taskbar, select it and hit CTRL SHIFT F5 to reinit the mainwindow pos and size

[Pinocchio]

I can see it neither in taskbar nor in processes.
