MMF2 Extension Loading Problem! Users/Devs Read!

[Person]

OK, I have Windows 98, VC++ 2005, MMF2 Standard, and build 248. Advanced Path Finding and Trackbar don't seem to work. I tried to run an example executable with the Trackbar object in it and it said something like, "Cannot load trackbar.mfx. This object might need an external program or a library not yet installed."

I am not sure about Trackbar but you need to have the .NET framework installed to use Advanced Pathfinding.

The readme should have more info about as does the post here about that object:

The only OS that does not need to install the .NET is Vista.
All other versions of windows need .NET installed separately.

Just for the record, I am having trouble getting the Joystick2 object to work. I am running XP and MMF2 Standard, and I haven't tried grabbing .NET yet..... One to look into though.

Is your directX up to date?

I thought I remember reading you need a current version for the joystick extension to work.

Ill check that right now and report back...

Should be 9.0c, by the way. At least on XP, 10 on Vista, don't know the exact version.

I got it loading. It was a directX issue, nothing to do with this.

Advanced Comment object gives an error on the user machine. I can use and build on my Vista machine. But I install the .exe on a XP computer and when I double click to run the application I get an error message that Advanced Comment Object cannot load perhaps due to missing library files.

I am using the MMF2 Developer version build 248.

Is this perhaps due to the user machine not having .net installed?

Report: The Joystick2 extension was working in MMF2 Dev, under XP. Yesterday I changed my OS to Vista, and is not recognized anymore... it's becouse of Vista?

EDIT: I just Updated my DirectX files and it worked again ^^

Sorry to resurrect a dormant thread, but has anything been discovered about this? I'm having the problem at home, but I'm at work at the moment so I can't post details until later. What I *can* post is what I remember - I'm running Vista 64, MMFD2, and Path Finder, Advanced Path Finder and numerous other extensions don't show up. MMFD2 won't update (complains about a dll,) and files that use those extensions won't open.

Later tonight or over the weekend, I should be able to provide more information if it'll be useful.
