Problem - MQ2Navigation not loading

[geEQ]

Hi all. I am setting up a new computer to run Eq and MQ2/KA. I have installed Eq and MQ properly and then copied over what I thought were all of the relevant macs, inis, folders, etc. from one of my working machines. I then did an update with the new Redguides installer (pointing it to the proper new directories). Everything seems to be running properly except MQ2Navigation. When I try /plugin mq2navigation load, I get the error Plugin 'mq2navigation' could not be loaded. Did I miss a file or something? I wonder if I am missing something obvious? Any thoughts on what to check next?

Let me guess windows 10 on a new pc?

Ive banged my head against this one every way I could think and have no working solution. I can only get mq2nav to work on my windows 10 pc that got an upgrade from a previous version of windows. I cant get it running on my new laptop with a fresh 10 install. Frustrating. I played with powershell, permission settings, folder ownership, different users with different administrators rights... If you figure it out please let me know. Would love to have a fix.

Yeah, Win 10, but I did the upgrade from Win 7 before installing/transferring the EQ/MQ data. I think I changed the folder rights and permissions properly too. I placed everything in the default EQ installation location which is C:\users\public\daybreak game company\installed games. Maybe I'll try putting it in a different folder. Any other suggestions?

I tried both copying the folder to a new destination and doing a clean install to another location. Neither did it for me.

Hmm. i noticed that the mesh creation program does not run (though I copied my working meshes over). It poops out with a MSVCP100.dll and MSVCR100.dll are missing from your computer message. Are there dependencies on those files for the plugin? Or other dependencies?

 

[toots]

Not sure about that.

Please try and place MQ2 on an different drive than C, same with EQ if that doesent help.

Same issue, this is very odd

 

[geEQ]

Yep. I tried a different drive (well, a usb stick) and still no luck. I am not sure what to try next.

See if the .dll is blocked by Windows. I had that happen with AutoLogin before.

[Redbot]

testing that..

unblocking doesn't do it.

Alright! Thanks for digging into this and solving it Redbot. Thanks Razkle for the further advice. Now to send a crew to the Gribble HA's for a few days.

It was Brainiac that gave us the answer.
