v1.5.5: de265.dll missing (*SOLVED, kind of)

Post by MJunglas »

Hi!

Today I upgraded my Xnview MP 1.5.0 to the actual v1.5.5.
After upgrading on avery startup it shows a "the application cannot be startet, de265.dll missing" dialog TWICE.

I searched this forum and found a hack to rename libx265.dll to de265.dll to fix it and indeed it works somehow, but now it doesn't find an fuction entry point. So it seems to be a wrong DLL in that place.

So, there seems to be a setup error for some reason.
I tries a clean re-install with no luck. Then I downgraded back to 1.5.0 and it works fine again.

INFO: Used the Setup, not ZIP. Windows 7 Pro x64, German language (perhaps a hint to the "de"?!)

Cheers,
Marcus

*** PROBLEM SOLVED:

I used the ZIP release now and it includes a valid de265.dll.
So, the Setup version seems to be faulty.

also it's v1.6.0 and not 1.5.5 as written on the web page.

So, the Setup and web site should be updated soon to fix it.

Cheers,
Marcus
