OpenAL32.dll not found
on: May 12, 2007, 11:56:25 am
Installed Freespace 2 (which worked), then used Turey's installer to install the SCP, but everytime I try to open anything from the SCP, I get an error:
             
   "This application has failed to start because OpenAL32.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix the problem"

Tried re-install, didn't work.  Thought it had something to do with "lurking OpenAL drivers" so I tried to delete them, but I couldn't find them.

Did you read the notes at the end of the install?

why would an SCP error be considered as news? :wtf: *smacks Cobra*It's a feature.

A cautionary tale for the rest of us. :)

At least you got it solved. Have fun playing the game. :)

hi. i'm still an idiot, and a complete noob. i did the instalelr for FS2 open. i ran into the same problem as Jagazaar in the Issues with FS2 Open Installer? (long)  thread.  after following the link for OPENAL that jr2 replied with, i get to Creative's page. when i try to download the executable, Internet Explorer comes back with "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".  I can't get OpenAL32.dll to download from that site. did i miss something?  i'm running an AMD64 in Windows XP Pro. thanks

The OpenAL installer got updated for the summer.  Just thought I'd mention that.

SUPER! That was just what I needed. Though I did a reboot after the installation the game was "wonky".

But after another reboot JOY.

So I'll start playing :)

Thanks.

Preferrably you should use the OpenAL installer available at Creative Labs' website.

Since you've asked about this, and other things, elsewhere, I'll lock this thread.
