  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,

    -Ayman

    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,
      -Ayman

      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.
