Registry plugin: Missing DLLs?

[Dalai]

Apparently, the installer is confused by having the zip file in the same dir.

Which installer do you mean? TC installer? TC itself?

CORRECTION. I retried everything. The directory that worked had the registry_vk.ini file in it. When I copy that file to the directory that didn't work, it started working too.

When I copy that file to the directory that didn't work, it started working too.

That also doesn't make sense. Yesterday, I tried various things to provoke any failure in plugin loading, including deleting/renaming registry_vk.ini, German.lng and Registry.lng. Only the latter had an impact on the plugin's functionality. If the .ini is missing the plugin just uses default settings. Same applies to any external language files; if missing the plugin will use default (=English) strings.

I'm not sure what else to add. There might be some unusual permissioning going on in this dir. I tried doing the same in the dir that works and indeed it did create the default registry_vk file. I tried this multiple times.

I don't think this is a generic issue. But you might check the code thread to see what happens if creating the default file fails.
Thank you for looking into this.

Maybe some anti-virus or anti-malware scanner interfering with this?

Since it's not one of my plugins and the source code is not publicly available only the author could do this. However, I doubt that he will if you can't reproduce some issue reliably.
