VBoxPuelMain.DLL VERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND - GetLastError=12

[rbhkamal]

I compiled virtualbox from trunk (last week) and tried to install the extension pack, however, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

C:\bin>VBoxManage.exe extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.4-
70112.vbox-extpack
0%...
Progress state: E_FAIL
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to install "C:\bin\Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_
Pack-4.0.4-70112.vbox-extpack": Failed to load the main module ('C:\bin\Extensio
nPacks\Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack\win.x86\VBoxPuelMain.DLL'): VERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND - GetLastError=126

C:\bin>

So I recompiled using debug and stepped through the code. The error is generated from LoadLibrary() MS function; even though the path does exist.... its as if VBoxPuelMain.dll cannot find some dependencies.

Next, I tried to copy all the DLLs need to run virtualbox to the win.x86 folder right before the call to LoadLibaray() is executed.... still same return code.

Help please!

I wasted a week on this so far.... I really need some help here.

I get the same error with 4.0.4 and the latest SVN trunk, isn't there anyone out there who can tell me if this is a problem with my setup or virtualbox its self?


Thanks,

I don't use Ubuntu 8.10 any more so I don't know if that is an issue, but compiling from SVN using 10.04 - 10.10 does work and the ExtPack does in fact install and is usable.

You can compare your build environment with mine here http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35883

If however you are using Windows to compile I know there is an issue and from what I read the ExtPacks is not supported beyond 4.0.4 on the in flux builds.

I see, in my case the linux build works just fine too. However, the windows build never worked.... to be specific, the installation of the extention pack never completed successfully
The problem is happening regardless of the source code revision that I use (4.0.4, trunk... you name it)

Do you know for sure if the windows build will work for 4.0.3 or 4.0.2?


Thanks,

My understanding is that with Windows builds you can not get the ExtPack to work. You can look through the Dev Mailing List and I believe that is just a day or so ago. It covers this exact question.

fyi, I got it to work with 4.0.4. The problem was that I was missing MSVCR71.DLL

Once I copied that file to system32, the problem disappeared and USB support is now working.
