Question

Plugin Load Failed When AE Initializing

Hi guys,


In a nutshell, when I put my plugin into the MediaCore folder, it may warn me that my plugin load failed. But on the contrary, if I put it into Support Files, this warning goes away immediately.

I have found that it is because of some dlls I referenced, which have already been put into a subdirectory of MediaCore, like libcur.dll, libeay.dll or something, but I still cannot solve this problem.

I will appreciate your sweet anwser.


Thanks,
Dolag

And when lacking of some dll, sometimes it show me Plugin Load Failed when AE initializing, but may show Invalid Filter when applying this plugin to some layer after initialization from time to time.

This makes me confused, I'm thirsty for the reason.

it does sound like a dll dependecy issue. from both locations, examine your plugin in "dependency walker". it will show you what conflicts you have.

if that is indeed the issue, here's an example on how to work around it:

Sorry I thought AE will load all dlls in MediaCore by mistake. All I need to do is move all dll to Support Files or add my dll path to environment variable, but this solution is not so elegant. There must be some other method to achieve that.
