64-bit VST won't load, 32-bit will (REAPER, OpenMPT) #31
Comments
Fortunately, glasswire.com had installed I play close attention to when something installs a C++ Redistributable, because I've had lots of programs work only because something else had installed the needed C++ Redistributable. I installed If you're taking requests, it would be nice if the VST are distributed with the necessary C++ Redistributable DLLs. Some applications includes files like Nothing's obvious about Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable. Old versions come up first in searches, and Microsoft download pages never display the version. Somewhere I got |
So the 64-bit LMMS DAW will load the 64-bit Protoplug, and it allows the VST to report it's error, after I install 64-bit Microsoft Visuall C++ Redistributable. I finally found where to get the latest version: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads This is the error:
The path to the file is correct. 32-bit Protoplug works in LMMS, sort of. The LMMS window that contains the Protoplug window isn't resizable, so I guess it's blocking user inpurt. The Protoplug menu bar items, The bigger problem is that on reload of the LMMS project, the Protoplug window shows the default script code, rather than the last script that was compiled, even though you can hear the effect that was pasted into the window. Big plans are always derailed because music software is all a big kludge, with massive unknowns. No one's fault in particular. Thanks. |
There are no problems, only workarounds. The 32-bit version works good enough, most likely. |
Thanks for the feedback and problem solving. I am open to distributing the plugin with the required DLLs, however, it's not necessarily an easy fix. The DLLs normally need to be installed in a system folder, or placed along side the host executable (so users would have to copy

Thanks for the software. I'm in an early phase of trying to use Protoplug as a replacement for JSFX scripting. And if Protoplug works, then it's a huge solution, since Lua is a mainstream programming language that's widely used. Doing music, and learning marketable job skills at the same time, that would be great.
PROBLEM: So in OpenMPT and in REAPER, neither of the 64-bit VST DLLs will load. REAPER fails silently, but OpenMPT returns an error. I'm using Windows 10.
Part of the OpenMPT error message is this:
The specified module could not be found.
. Maybe that doesn't mean anything special, but does a Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable have to be installed?QUESTION: So as to script code that's been inserted in the VST editor. This Lua code gets recompiled everytime the DAW starts up and activates the Protoplug VST, right? And there are no external dependencies for the code, such as reading a file to get the code, right? It looks that way. This is big, because REAPER JSFX scripts have to exist as files when the DAW start up.
GREAT UI: From my "Hello, World!" tests, the basics are great. The sliders respond to the scroll wheel, and a double click allow me to enter in an exact value, and there's 127 slider available. Thanks.
