cablib.dll installing issue

[carissa_27]

Hi there,

I am trying to install the FreeSO installer .exe but when I try to launch it (whether I'm just opening it regularly or running as administrator) it crashes with the following error:

Full Exception Info: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'CabLib.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.
File name: 'CabLib.dll'
at OfficialFSOInstaller.Form1..ctor()
at OfficialFSOInstaller.Program.Main()

Me and my friend are installing the program at the same time and hers launched immediately without any hitches. We checked and we have the same files in our downloaded folder and both extracted it properly, so I don't understand the discrepancy. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi - I was wondering if you ever got this problem fixed? I am having the same issue.

Hello! I had the same issues and i seemed to figure it out. The problem was with the dependencies, as CabLib.dll needs other 3 .dll to work (maybe just the last one). These .dll are:
msvcm80.dll
msvcr80.dll
msvcr100.dll
You can find these at https://dll-files.com/ (get the 32bit ones and look for the newest version)
