Tonyb42 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hello. This morning I updated paint.net to the latest version of 4.2.2 and attempted to open a dds picture file with negative results. The following information appeared on screen in the "show details" box as reasoning for the failed attempt: Application version: paint.net 4.2.2 System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'DdsFileTypePlusIO_x64.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) at DdsFileTypePlus.DdsNative.DdsIO_x64.Load(IOCallbacks callbacks, DDSLoadInfo& info) at DdsFileTypePlus.DdsNative.Load(Stream stream) at DdsFileTypePlus.DdsFile.Load(Stream input) at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 512 at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 512 at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval[T1,TRet](Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in D:\src\pdn\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 158 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 First, which version of Windows are you using? It's having trouble loading a DLL needed for the updated DDS functionality. If you go to the install directory (probably C:\Program Files\paint.net), there should be a Bundled directory, with a DDSFileTypePlus directory. Does its contents match this? If it doesn't match that, try running PdnRepair.exe from the install directory. If it still won't work then I've got another idea...

Rick Brewster Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 In fact, I think I know what's causing this... In C:\Windows\System32, do you have a VCOMP140.DLL file? If not, then I think I need to push out a quick 4.2.3 update to fix this. In the meantime, if you don't have VCOMP140.DLL, you can unzip this into that aforementioned C:\Program Files\paint.net\Bundled\DDSFileTypePlus directory (the one in the screenshot) to get back on your feet for now: vcomp140.zip (assuming I'm right, that is) Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Okay I was able to reproduce this in a virtual machine. I'll be putting out a 4.2.3 update shortly, hopefully today. In the meantime, my fix / workaround does work!

Rick Brewster Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Okay I'm pushing out 4.2.3 now. Should be available within the hour.
