VLC Plugin does not load in Opera after setting CWDIllegalIn

Postby GwenDragon » 01 Sep 2010 16:05

After adding the DLL search patch in Windows 7 registry at HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager setting CWDIllegalInDllSearch to dword hex FFFFFFFF (not 1 or 2!)
the VLC Plugin does not load anymore with Opera 10.61.

Opera complains about not finding libvlc.dll.

//EDIT: fixed typo. Faulty wrote or instead of not. Sorry.

You have something like Software\VideoLAN\VLC\InstallDir in registry?

Yes.
In Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VideoLAN\VLC i can find:
InstallDir with Value C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC
