Can not make Imagine 0.9.0.0 beta 10 work

[petermad]

I have previously used Imagine v. 0.8.4.0 without any problems, but I can not make Imagine 0.9.0.0 beta 10 work at all.

I simply just get the message: " imagine.DLL was not found"

I have both tried to install 0.9.0.0 beta 10 over the old version 0.8.4.0 and I have tried to completely remove imagine and do a fresh install of version 0.9.0.0 beta 10.

The file imagine.DLL is most certainly present in the imagine install directory - I have even tried placing imagine.dll in the TC directory itself, and in directories in the path (c:\windows and c:\windows\system32).

I am running TC v. 6.52, but have also tried installing 0.9.0.0 beta 10 under TC 6.51 with the same result.

Has anybody else experienced this problem

Have you really manually removed ALL Imagine files (also subdirectories - especially subdirectory: .\Plugin) during removing the old version? If not, do it.

Did you restart TC after installing new Version

Hello petermad,

I'm having that problem frequently with Imagine. Last time I made the following strange experience. After a manual installation of imagine, the error occured. Really don't know the reason. See, I'm not a TC beginner and I have installed dozens of plugins before. Certainly I did not make an obvious mistake - but it did not work.

So I removed Imagine completely and thereafter I used the auto-intall feature of TC 6.51. And - trallala - the plugin worked like hell!

No I had left the folder itself without any files. I have now done it also deleting the imagine folder - and now it worked. Thank you.

Yes I did restart TC after installation

As you can see from my answer to djk - also erasing the folder helped. Thanks.

I am no novice to TC either - I have been using it since 1994 (version 1.30e) , My registration number is as low as 524.

This really puzzles me - and I think it is something for the author of imagine to look into.

At Totalcmd.net there is already the info:

*** NOTE: Please delete all the previous plugins (Plugin/*.DLL) ***

There should be the same in readme but there isn't, now.

*** NOTE: Please delete all the previous plugins (Plugin/*.DLL) ***

What puzzles me is that I did delete all files, just not the folders.

I tried to recreate the error, but now everything works OK when installing beta10.
