Title: FreeImage.mir missing from your computer.
Post by: mistafist on 26 01 2018, 15:41:08
Just updated to 0.95.8 #19219 32.  I'm getting
---------------------------
Miranda32.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because FreeImage.mir is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------
when trying to run the application. Any ideas?

If you know branch (stable or dev) and bit (32 or 64) you can download core package (7-zip archive) manually, find FreeImage mir and place to /Libs

Well, I did not think of doing so as in the morning I have downloaded complete installation (exe) so I assumed that all whats needed will be included. And if not in a complete install file then in zip it wouldnt be either.

Anyway you have helped me enormously because thanks to your link I actually noticed that I was using some wrong branch of miranda (for years already!). I was using the stuff from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/miranda/

And I do not even know why... Anyway I downloaded the 7z from correct address thanks to you and now everything works smoothly! And looks nicer too ;] While I doing switches and renewals I decided to migrate to version 64bit finally...

But... this is Miranda IM, not Miranda NG. No one IM plugin cannot work with NG
