"Cannot load mfx" question

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hi,

    When I run an extension I've compiled, and built an exe with it, it gives the following error upon running on a different machine:

    "Cannot load mfx. This object might need an external program or library not yet installed."

    What does this mean, more exactly? Did it throw some kind of exception? Or was it not able to even load/initialize?

    I mean, should I be looking at dependencies or in the actual logic code so no errors á la "array out of bounds" occur?

    Any ideas?

  • Dependencies.

    If your extension is linking to the "dll" version of the C runtime (check project properties) then that C runtime will need to be installed on the machine for the extension to work. If you link to the non-dll version your extension will be larger but not require the C runtime to be installed.
