Several users have been experiencing this problem and I've never been able to fully figure out why.

Could I ask you to download and unzip this file, then navigate to the extracted folder in a command prompt, type "fman.exe" there and tell me which output you get?

See the following gist: https://gist.github.com/oddrationale/d8a42fd0b960018d1652fb55eceb5f4f

I see in line 37 there appears to be a path that is hard coded to your development environment?

Thanks. Do you have the following files in C:\Windows\System32?

• ws2_32.dll
• mpr.dll
• api-ms-win-crt-multibyte-l1-1-0.dll

[oddrationale]

I have the first two, but not api-ms-win-crt-multibyte-l1-1-0.dll.

Does it work when you copy the file to C:\Windows\System32?

[oddrationale]

Tried copying the DLL file to my System32 folder and re-running fman (both my installed version, and the snapshot version you sent). Same issue.

EDIT: Had to also run regsrvc api-ms-win-crt-multibyte-l1-1-0.dll and it worked!

[mherrmann]

?!? Do you mean regsvr32?

[mherrmann]

I just released fman 0.3.8 which should hopefully fix the issue :)
