Title: Installation of v2.7.2
Post by: fish on March 13, 2019, 11:00:02 AM
I am getting an error of, "The program can't start because VSScript.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I reinstalled but it did not fix the problem.
After clicking on ok the software seems to run, so I will press on and see how it goes.

It doesn't complain about missing VSScript.dll in my testing, both with no VapourSynth at all and with the current version (R45) installed. Do you have an old version of VapourSynth installed on your system?

I have the same problem, I don't think I ever had Vapoursynth installed, unless it was bundled with something.

While removing libADM_dm_vapoursynth.dll from the plugins\demuxers folder or using the MinGW build instead of the VC++ one should stop the nuisance, I would prefer to identify the reason why some users get this warning and the others including me not (I don't have VapourSynth installed on my Windows 10 system).

Please start Avidemux afresh, then compress and attach admlog.txt from %localappdata%\avidemux to your reply.

I too have never used Vapoursynth as far as I am aware. I am using an up to date Win7 pro. I've attached the file you requested.

Thanks (I see only one log attached, by fish), @evodoc, please just paste the Windows version mentioned in the log, like

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Business Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601; 64-bit)

I'm sorry, I missed it.

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601; 64-bit)

Thank you, is it Home Edition? Anyway, there is nothing unusual in the log, the VapourSynth demuxer gets correctly disabled

[Demuxer]Symbol loading failed for C:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 VC++ 64bits\plugins\demuxers/libADM_dm_vapoursynth.dll
C:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 VC++ 64bits\plugins\demuxers/libADM_dm_vapoursynth.dll:CannotLoad


I'll uninstall VapourSynth on Windows 7 and recheck.

Confirmed with VapourSynth uninstalled on Windows 7. Windows 10 is not affected.

If you are not going to use VapourSynth, please remove libADM_dm_vapoursynth.dll or modify its extension.

Same problem, except clicking on OK simply closed the warning window.
So for me, the latest version is unusable.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, with the same negative result.

The file  libADM_dm_vapoursynth.dll  does not appear in the list when I open the updated Avidemux folder (Avidemux 2.7 VC++ 64bits).

As noted above, can't use the program.  All I get is the error message reported by OP.
Running Win7, home premium.  Never had this problem with any previous version of Avidemux.

It is located where all other demuxer plugins are: in the plugins\demuxers\ subdirectory.

Thanks.  I'll reinstall and try it with the problem file removed.
