Windows 11 and WDP
-
<p>I have a new-to-me computer that came with windows 11 installed. I have loaded BMS 4.35U3 and it works fine. However, I haven’t been able to get WDP (or MC) to work on the computer I’ve installed it but when I go to start it, I get “unhandled exception - object reference not set to and instance of and object” If I continue through this error, WDP loads but if I try to load a mission I get “Unhandled exception - unable to load DLL Lzssnative.dll - exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E”<br /><br />I have uninstalled and reinstalled WDP several times - the newest version. Copied all of the files from a working version on a different computer and ran it from there, copied Lzssnative.dll from Mission Commander over to WDP all with no success.<br /><br />So my question is has anyone been able to successfully use WDP in windows 11 and, if so, how did you make it work.<br />Thanks</p>

<p>@piston Try to copy the Lzssnative.ddl file from Mission Commander and put that into your WDP and see if that works…</p>

<p>It might require a .Net framework to work, don’t know which one. <br /><br />What’s the complete error?</p>

<p><br />“It might require a .Net framework to work, don’t know which one. <br /><br />What’s the complete error?”<br /><br />Thanks for responding, I’ll try to figure out the .NET framework thing<br /><br />I’ve included the “details” file below, I’m not very good at figuring out what it all means.<br /><br />See the end of this message for details on invoking <br />just-in-time (JIT) debugging

<p>Ok, I’ve loaded many versions of C++ and many versions of .net framework, several different Lzssnative.dll and it still doesn’t work. Does anyone have WDP working in windows 11?</p>

This looks more like missing (or corrupt, or incompatible) theater/campaign files.<br /><br />I don’t have Win11 so I can’t say for sure. Just “reading between the lines” of the stack trace.<br /><br />What theater are you flying? Does WDP work ok with a stock KTO campaign?</p>

<p>You have WDP installed inside the Falcon BMS folder? Interesting. Perhaps move out of there and try it - maybe a windows thing.</p>

<p>@piston <br />Hello, dear mate.<br />I have Win 11 Pro running on my PC/system, and WDP running fine since its first installation… but on a different drive from C:.<br />What should I tell you? My advise would be: try to uninstall it and wipe any clue of it out with CCleaner <em>(or the like of your choice, of course)</em>. After that, try to install it on a different drive. If nothing good happens, I should think seriously to reinstall Windows, at that point.<br /><br />Sorry if I couldn’t help you more or in a different way. Good luck!<br /><br />With best regards.<br /><br /></p>

<p>@airtex2019 I’m flying the stock KTO campaign which seems to work fine in BMS. I’ve tried many different things, deleting and reinstalling WDP, copying all the WDP files over from a windows 10 machine that works and others. I will keep working on it.<br /></p>
-
<p>@NIL I’ve done this and also copied it over from a working version of WDP on a windows 10 machine. </p>
-
<p>@CriticalMass Good idea, will try this.<br /></p>
