I’m trying to figure out why the simplest firebreath plugin wont install on a German Windows XP SP3. I’m running Windows XP as a virtual machine.

The event viewer in Windows XP tells me something about the Windows Installer aborting but not why. I’m logged in as the administrator.

The installer works on Windows 7.

For development I use Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010 and some one months old firebreath trunk.

Is this is known problem? What are the typical steps I could use to track down the issue?

Regards,
Christian

    If you get an error saying module can’t be found it means that you are missing a .dll file needed to make the plugin work. The most common if it works on most computers (or many) but not that one is that your .dll was compiled with a dynamic runtime, in which case you’ll have to install the common runtime for whatever version of visual studio you compiled it with.

    For example, the runtime distributable for vs2008 is at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29

    Dependency Walker might help you to find out which dll is missing.
