Hello,
Developing on Win 64 Bit I am using two externals, which works fine up to LC 6.7. But in LC 7 and 8 I get "Initialisation error - failed to load external", when launching the runtime.
The externals and the externals.txt are located at: ": C:\Users\<myUser>\Documents\My LiveCode\Runtime\Windows\x86-32\Externals"
and in: "C:\Users\<myUser>\Documents\My LiveCode\Externals"
The files& memory\user extensions preference is: "C:\Users\<myUser>\Documents\My LiveCode"
This setting works fine with LC 6.7 in IDE and runtime, but in LC 7 and 8 it works only in the IDE and trows the above runtime error.
There must have been changed something obvious with LC 7/8, what I don't see.
Any idea, what to check for?
Thanks
Tiemo

Re: failed to load external
SOLVED
I am not quit sure, because I tried different things, but think it was an incompatible version of revxml.dll or revzip.dll.
After I copied the newest versions of those dlls from the LC 8 installation dir into my test environment, the failure was gone.
