New BuildOS - Report Bugs Here

[ksquake]

I have recently downloaded and started using Helmi_WM6_Apache_Kitchen_071217_1 which uses PPC-BuildOS with file version 9.5.02, the .9.05 version listed in the title here comes from the splash screen.

If this is in the wrong spot let me know and I will move it to the proper thread but I do believe the error comes from BuildOS.

After selecting the appropriate RUU and Carrier and splash screens and options I want to include I am getting the following error when building the ROM by clicking on the green play button “Build Rom”:
--------
PPC-BuildOS.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found.
-------

This error appears during the "Building ROM" step and after clicking OK on the error then the Build Status dialog box reports:
Building ROM
Unable to load compression DLL!


The referred to MSVCR71.dll does exist in the \BuildOS\TOOLS directory.

Do I need to copy this DLL to another location?

I am running this in a VMWare Windows XP SP2 machine with Active Synch 4.5

Any help would be appreciated.

-----------------------

Well, try and try again as they say, it appears that copying this file into the \BuildOS directory has resolved the problem. I am not sure if there is an INI file that might be modified to specify the location but for now I am past the problem.
