Hi everybody! There's this issue we're having a hard time troubleshooting and I hope Windows and Pd experts can help figuring this out!
So, a user is having issues loading the [sfont~] object from ELSE in Pd on Windows, even though me and others cannot reproduce the error. When trying to create the object, he gets:
H:\JOE-W10\Documents\Pd\externals\else\sfont~.m_amd64: La procédure spécifiée est introuvable (*The specified procedure is not found*). (127) sfont~ ...couldn't create
An error window also pops up and says:
"*Entry point not found * *The DllMain procedure entry point is not found in the dynamic link library * *H:\JOE-W10\Documents\Pd\externals\libfluidsynth-3.w64.*"
I don't know what this error means and why me and others don't get this error!
Of course we did troubleshoot installation and everything but we still can't figure it out and I have ZERO experience with windows.
It is important to note that the user reports he can use PlugData which carries ELSE and the object works just fine. The similar [fluid~] object (equally based on FluidSynth like sfont~) also works when used in the PurrData installation, but the user is also having problems loading fuild~ in Vanilla.

Thanks Alex
