Problem with Skin Plugin

[richardw456]

I just installed Community Skin Ver 4 Widescreen, and have a problem. The Skin Plugin shows in config, but not on the PRRX2 main menu. I am using Windows 7 RTM. Everything else is good, including the Music plugin, and that one shows in the main menu, but not skin plugin. I am seeing the default skin of Community, so I know it's there. Any ideas?

Reproduce the error, and zip and attach your logs.

Which logs? If you mean for PPVRX2, that could be quite large!! Or does community skin have there own?

[richardw456]

OK, couldn't find any logs for community skin, here are the GBPVR logs since I reinstalled on 9-15. BTW, never had ver 3 installed, not since I reinstalled windows.

Although the installer should have taken care of it, it looks like you're missing some dlls (or have old versions).

Either try and reinstall the CS package taking note of the contents of the plugins/common folder or more simply install the latest version of the WizTools from here: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utility/WizUtilities (see 'Supporting DLLs' section)

Installed the Wiztools DLLs and that fixed it. Thanks McBainUK!!

[McBainUK]

Great

[rowle1jt]

Fixed me up as well, thanks!

[Fatman_do]

I noticed there is a file "Wiz" .dll file missing from the installer, so will fix that for the next install.
