LoadLibrary failed with error 87: The parameter is incorrect

Postby lightwave » Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:40 pm

New here, just trying to get this program running. It seems to have installed completly, but when I try to run it, I get a pop up box

"LoadLibrary failed with error 87: The parameter is incorrect."

It would seem that it has a directory problem, but how to fix it , I 'not sure.

Here's what I have done so far....
Started out with an older version FlightGear 2018.?.? It does the same thing LoadLibrary failed with error 87: close the box, end of running the aplication.

Found the newest version FlightGear 2020.3.2
Installed after uninstalled older version.

Shortcut that runs the sim.
"C:\FlightGear 2020.3.2\bin\fgfs.exe" --launcher

I searched the directory for "Library" and find this "C:\FlightGear 2020.3.2\bin\api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-1-0.dll"

It would seem that this is the file it is looking for....
Now What ?

Where to next? Thanks in advance>>

what OS? your use of "c:" indicates windows but not which windows or if it is 32bit or 64bit...

ok, thanks for that...
where did you download your FG from?
is it a nightly build?
have you tried downloading a newer one?
