openal installs but gizmo doesn't find it

[hobofat]

Aloha,

I've sent Cameron support requests to which he has responded (crazy fast!), but it so far a solution has eluded, so I thought I would put here as well and see if anybody else has experienced this.

I recently bought a new laptop, windows 7 64-bit.  I installed all the necessary files for gizmo to work, including the openal files.  Openal supposedly installed correctly, and I see openal.dll in my windows/System32 folder, and in the SysWOW64 folder.  But according to my x-plane log file, it's not finding openal.

I scoured the net regarding this issue, and all I can see is that there might be an issue with 32-bit files being placed where the 64-bit ones should go (System32), but I'm not sure how to even tell if that happened.

I'll see if I can get a manifest together of the files that the OpenAL installer is putting on your machine.

Thanks for your patience. -sighs-

(Other plugins are shipping with OpenAL needs now, are they using a better/different method than Gizmo to get it setup on your machines???)

Cheers,

Ben.

(thread stickied, ..... i'll copy the guts over to the bug tracker too.)

Not sure what happened, cleaned everything up and re-installed gizmo -- which I had already done many times! -- and lo and behold, gizmo is now working.

Computers are weird.  And the Falco flies again.

thank you, this news is relieving.
