I helped him via TeamViewer, it was his OS. I can't help him too much more right now because I am in the middle of taking care of somethings, just to elaborate on this more.

I'm guessing you downloaded a precompiled version since if you had visual studio and compiled it then you'd have those DLL files.

This is most likely what you need to install: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...d-3802b2af5fc2

If I install that what do I do with it?

You don't do anything with it directly... you just need to have it installed.

I guess to sound less "JUST DO IT" about it... it's like installing drivers.

Ah ok thanks Chanus.

Very annoyed.. When launching batch file from desktop it is still stating the following -

eqlaunch.exe - Unable to Locate DLL

How do I go about fixing this?

If you need MSVCP90.dll then do a google search for it and you will find a workable solution many times over. I really wish I could say more about this but it would violate forum rules.

I don't see why it would violate forum rules. It's part of a freely distributable runtime available for download directly from Microsoft.

The one I linked should have fixed it if it was installed. If it didn't then whoever compiled it may not have upgraded to SP1. Try downloading and installing the non-SP1 version of the Visual Studio 2008 runtime.

You can also download a program called Dependency Walker that will show you exactly what DLL files are needed to run something and show you which ones you do not have installed.

It's odd that you didn't already have the runtime installed. Almost every program built with Visual Studio 2008 would have to include it in their installer for the program to work.

I never knew it was part of that redistributable package. Given that fact you would be correct that it isn't a rules issue. I was thinking along different lines at that particular point which would have been a problem if you know what I mean.

I am running into my last issue and I would really appreciate any help I can get.

Getting the following error...

Failed to load mime.types...
 

After having my server up for over five hours with 0 issues I decided to reboot my server and reboot my computer.. After trying to reload the server it failed to and said the following...

World.exe can't load:

[Debug] [WORLD_HTTP_ERR] failed to load mime types from 'mime.types'

Any ideas?

Well, is there a file named mime.types in your server directory?

How are you actually starting the server? If you are using a shortcut to the batch file, make sure you have the "Start In" directory set to the right place otherwise it will not find the proper files.

If you have the file, try navigating to the server directory and running the start.bat file directly from there.

There is not a file named that...

I tried that on the shortcut on my desktop

Then tried using start.bat file.. Same error is occurring

[Debug] [WORLD_HTTP_ERR] failed to load mime types from 'mime.types'

I'm confused... you have an error message that explicitly states which file is causing the error, then you have a post explicitly asking if you have that file in your server directory and you say you don't... yet you can't connect the dots?

I see a bright future ahead of you
