Problem Help with loading BaseSync :Error 126

[Stebb]

Hi,

I'm using Orbiter Build Aug 28 2016 [v.160828] which I've been using for a few weeks, and I'm in the process of collecting some essential MFD modules.

I expect I'm making a rookie error somewhere but I can't get BaseSync v3.1 (2016 version) to load.
After unpacking it into the Orbiter folder structure, BaseSync appears on the Modules list on the Orbiter Launchpad (which is ticked, of course) but it doesn't appear on the MFD selection menu when Orbiter is running.
Orbiter log gives the following error message.

=========== ERROR: ==========================
Failed loading module Modules\Plugin\BaseSyncMFD.dll (code 126)
[Orbiter::LoadModule | .\Orbiter.cpp | 600]
===========================================

I've paid attention to the 2 mandatory pre-requisites for BaseSync v3.1 given on Orbit Hanger. i.e. ModuleMessagingExt for Orbiter 2016 v1.1 and Visual Studio 2015 redist:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx? id=48145.

However, when I used that web address, a webpage returned 'we are sorry the page you requested cannot be found'. So I searched on 'Visual Studio 2015 redist' which gave the following address:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=48145.

This is for Visual C++ Redist for Visual Studio 2015. Subtle difference in web addresses but hopefully this is the one to use. So I installed Visual C++ Redist for Visual Studio 2015 with no problem.

I've also tried both versions of ModuleMessagingExt for Orbiter 2016 (v1.1 & v2.0). Unfortunately 'code 126' error persists.

Any hints to help me load BaseSync successfully would be very much appreciated.

Recently we solved a similar issue (same log error as yours) by installing both VS2015 runtime and DirectX9 (june 2010) from
https://download.microsoft.com/down...-82AF-AD2AE20B6B14/directx_Jun2010_redist.exe

I don't know if this will help, but you'll need those DirectX9 anyway, should you want to try D3D9.

 

[ADSWNJ]

You need ModuleMessagingExt installed.

You need ModuleMessagingExt installed.

He tried that already. Another runtime problem, maybe? :shrug:

Hi, many thanks for the replies,

I can see why the web address for the VC 2015 redist download page didn't work when I copied and pasted it into a web browser from the BaseSync description on Orbit Hanger. It contains a spurious space in the web address between ? and id.
When seen in my message above it’s obvious ! Anyway the VC 2015 redist is already installed.

I have already successfully installed the D3D9 with the necessary DirectX9. That's working great.

Regarding the BaseSync problem: If I go to the Modules/Plugin folder and replace the BaseSyncMFD.dll (2016 version) with an old BaseSyncMFD.dll from an earlier version of Orbiter, then this will load successfully and can be selected from the MFD selection menu when Orbiter is running.

The old version works but it's not the correct one for Orbiter 2016 and some of the calculations it makes seem to be a bit inaccurate. So it would be better if I could get to the bottom of why the latest version of BaseSync gives a runtime error in the orbiter log.

I've implemented a clean instal of Orbiter with BaseSync (2016 version) and ModuleMessaging but the problem persists. I'm not sure what else to try.

Would it help if I included a complete orbiter log file in my post?

I just looked at the article 'How to ask for help'. It mentioned the importance of including log files to help experts understand a user's issue. So hopefully this will be useful.

This is my Orbiter log:

Did you install the 32-bit version of the Visual Studio 2015 redistributable files? Since Orbiter is a 32-bit application, this add-on needs the 32-bit VS 2015 redistributable files, not the x64 ones.

From checking dependencies for the 2016 BaseSyncMFD.dll, they are:

E:\Orbiter2016_clean\Modules\Plugin>dumpbin /dependents BaseSyncMFD.dll

        1000 .rsrc
       15000 .text

VCRUNTIME140.dll is installed by the Visual Studio 2015 redistributable files, but you need the x86 (the 32-bit) version. You also need ModuleMessagingExt.dll, but as I understand it, you already installed that (and that is a 32-bit DLL).

I already have the 32-bit Visual Studio 2015 redistributable files installed, and I just installed the new Base Sync for Orbiter 2016 and ModuleMessagingExt, and it works fine for me.

So, what I suggest is:
1. Verify that you have installed 'ModuleMessagingExt v2 for Orbiter 2016' from here: https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6889
2. Verify that you have installed 'BaseSyncMFD for Orbiter 2016 v3.1' from here: https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6965
3. Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685 and click "Download".
4. Run vc_redist.x86.exe to install the 32-bit Visual Studio 2015 redistributables.
5. Run Orbiter and activate the new BaseSync module.

P.S. Locating and installing the correct version of the Visual Studio redistributable files for different add-ons is indeed a pain for users, which IMO is why it's better for everyone if add-on authors link their add-ons statically rather than dynamically -- details here: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=541908&postcount=41 :tiphat:

 

[ADSWNJ]

He tried that already. Another runtime problem, maybe? :shrug:

LOL - I'm a simple guy, I scan a message, see 126, a reply ModuleMessagingExt as muscle memory!!!

@Doug - thanks. Interesting that you use dumpbin.exe - I still use Depends.exetodo the same job. The reason for the last rev of ModuleMessagingExt was to allow me to fix these other utils (BaseSync, Glideslope, RV Orientation, etc) to all be statically linked and dynamic run-time load of MM Ext. Guess it;'s about time I released these new updates!

Thanks dbeachy1. Problem solved. :thumbup:

You were spot-on by pointing out that the 32-bit version of Visual Studio 2015 redist is required. I didn't know that. Who would, apart from Orbiter software developers ? I downloaded the 64 bit version simply because the computer I have has a 64 bit processor.

I'm a simple guy too. I think it would be of benefit to users if the pre-requisite in question for BaseSync v3.1 given in the BaseSync download page on Orbit Hanger was more explicit, i.e. it should include dbeachy1's suggestion 3 & 4 in his post above.

I've got BaseSync 3.1 running ! Great !! I'm happy about that.

However, the calculation inaccuracy that I mentioned in my previous post when using an old version of BaseSync on Orbiter 2016 is still present with the latest BaseSync v3.1. The inaccuracy has a lot to do with it not taking into account the terrain elevation at the location of the base.

Maybe this is something best left for another thread. :tiphat:
