Installing plug ins

by **Carol_i28** Thu May 22, 2014 3:25 pm

Sometimes we add plugins or filters to our graphics program and they just don't seem to be there.

There are 5 different DLL files needed to run most filter/plugins/add ons with your graphics program
that are NOT always installed or are not located in the proper folder for your operating system.

I have zipped and attached them.
I have scanned them with AVG and they are clean but always scan things yourself for peace of mind!

MSVCRT10.DLL
msvcrt20.dll
Msvcrt40.dll
msvcrt.dll
plugin.dll

If after installing a plugin/filter AND once you have restarted your graphics program
you get a message saying your program is unable to load it, place the above listed DLL's from the zip file as follows:

Windows98: All DLL's go in C:\Windows\System

WindowsME: Plugin.dll goes in your C:\Windows folder AND into your graphics program plugins folder. Msvcrt10.dll goes in your C:\Windows\System folder.

Windows2000: All DLL's go in C:\WINNT\System32

WindowsXP: All DLL's go in C:\Windows\System32

Windows Vista - All DLL's go in C:\Windows\System32

In windows 7 there are two places you need to put them. That is if your computer is 64 bit - Sytems32 and SysWow64

They apparently cannot do any damage - if you put them in the wrong place they will not work.
If they are in the right place they work immediately.

Here is a link for Harold Heims patch
to make old plugins work with Vista and it is free.
