hello, just to clarify, other than the [declare] stuff, is the main problem placing "msvcr71.dll" in the Gem folder because it is missing? do we know the reason?
i was just helping someone this morning on win10 / pd 0.47.1 / Gem and had the same problem... unable to load Gem. i ended up just telling them to install pd-x which worked fine (so far i assume). cheers m On Thu, Aug 4, 2016 at 8:23 AM, Björn Eriksson <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for clarifications IOhannes! > I would really prefer to not declare anything with specific path > references like this one with the Gem-0.93.3 folder.
