Can't open program
« on: January 08, 2014, 04:40:24 PM »
I am running PM 5 on a windows 7 laptop. I think it is the latest build, but it could be the one before. When I try to open the program, I instantly get an error message stating that the file "mfc100u.dll" cannot be found. I did a search and found the file in Windows/system32 folder. It recommends reloading the program, but I do not have a hard copy of the program, since I upgraded from v 4.6.8 online.

Can I move the file to a different folder, or where can I download the program again?
Thanks!

You can download 4.6.9 from http://www.camerabits.com/downloads

If the installer has trouble writing to the system folder then try right-clicking on PMSetup4.6.9.exe and choose "Run As Administrator"

It sounds like you have already upgraded your license to PM 5 so make sure you run the Photo Mechanic 5 installer which you can download here:

If it doesn't install correctly, run the installer as Administrator (like in the post above) and it should be able to install what it needs in order to run on your system.
