Weather Plugin never shows in Config or Menu

[swfx]

I ran the installer and it didn't give any errors, but I don't even have this listed as a Plugin in Config. What's the deal? Which log should I look at?

[Jeff]

Run the config program and then look in config.exe.log and see if there are errors listed.

Thanks for the quick reply Jeff. Here's the section from the cofig.exe.log that pertains to the Weather plugin:

Where do I go from here?

It looks like you need add a DLL called 'CommonGBPVRUtilities.DLL' to you GB-PVR directory. You should be able to find this on the wiki.

[swfx]

That was my original thought as well. I verified that it was there (required by another plugin). Then I thought that maybe the issue was that I had the wrong version of that file. Not sure what version it is supposed to be, but the version reported in the log is the only version I could find.

Exactly which directory do you have it in? I dont use it myself, but I seem to remember someone saying it needed to be in c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr, not the plugins directory under that.

[swfx]

It is in the gbpvr root. I need someone to tell me if I have the correct version to work with this plugin.

[Jeff]

The weather plug-in needs to be in the plugin directory. The commongbpvrutilities.dll file needs to be in the gbpvr root.

That is how it is Jeff. Do I have the correct version of CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll?

[Jeff]

My first guess is no. What is the date on the dll file? If you installed using the setup program, however, you should have gotten the right version installed. I have seen times however where it could not install a new version of this dll becuae it was already in use. Why don't you downlaod the version from the wiki again and reinstall it just to be sure.
