Hi Ayman,
Plugins compile, install, and are now detected accordingly using beta 6.
Thanks!
Tim
Hi Tim,
I think that was a mixup while building the installer, on my part, that led to including a library built with VisualStudio 9 Express. I fixed this in a new installer (beta 6) that I just posted on the downloads page (to replace the older one for VisualStudio 8Pro). I'd really appreciate if you can retest the plugin and let me know how it goes. This was also reported by Moonki.
Thanks much,Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2010 4:10 PM

Yes that is correct: I installed using OpenSim-2.2.0-b5win32-VC8P.exe.
I am using VS8 Pro, and I all plugin dlls are stored in C:\Program
Files\OpenSim 2.2\plugins. I have also added this to the path.
I am using Windows Vista, but I doubt that has anything to do with the
problem as everything worked fine in beta 4. I don't have depends.exe
but I can look into getting and trying it.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for testing and reporting. Do you have a DependencyWalker
(depends.exe?) If so, you can try to load the dll into it and find out which
dependencies are missing.
To confirm, you're using 2008 Professional and didn't have the problem using
the previous install. Are you using the VC8 or VC9E variant of the
installer?
Thanks again,

Hi Ayman,
I have tested the install of OpenSim B5 on Windows Vista. Everything
installs OK. When I try to compile and test a plugin analysis, it
compiles and installs without any problem (I am using VS8 Pro).
However the plugin seems to not be found when I type "analyze -L
PluginName", despite the dll existing in C:\Program Files\OpenSim
2.2\plugins. It just says "Failed to load library osimPlugin, ERROR-
library could not be loaded".
I have also added this directory to the path to no avail. This happens
both with my own plugin and the example osimPlugin. The strange thing
is that it DOES work when I follow exactly the same steps with Opensim
2.2 Beta 4 (so I doubt I am doing anything wrong). So the fact that
the plugin is detected in beta 4 and not beta 5 is strange. Is there
something extra I should be doing?
Cheers,
Tim

Dear All,
A release candidate of OpenSim 2.2. has been placed on the downloads page
of
OpenSim under the package name "OpenSim Release Betas", please give it a
spin and send your findings to this list. As of now the release is
available
on Windows (and built with VisualStudio 8 Professional & VisualStudio 9
Express). Please use the download marked as beta 5. Updated linux and MAC
builds of the OpenSim libraries will be available next week. For specific
testing activities, I created a list of tasks, available at
https://simtk.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=935&group_id=91&func=browse
Feel free to pick any subset of these and let us know so that the effort
is
not duplicated. Just installing the application, and trying the
APIExample,
plugin or trying to continue your regular use of OpenSim and reporting any
issues would be a great help.
The release contains primarily bug fixes and a few changes to the GUI. The
User Guide has been updated accordingly.
Thanks all for your time & I sure look forward to your feedback.
