Could not find a valid VST entry point for '...msvcr71.dll'.

[Trollwut]

Problem description
To get more information about #40, I moved the .DLLs from my plugins into my system's Wine ~/wine.

Of course I added the new path via yabridgectl add and synced it afterwards.

Now I opened reaper, add the VSTPlugin path of ~/.wine/... to it and rescan.

At the end of loading, it just crashes. An error log is added at the end.

What did you expect to happen?
Load the plugins to be used.

What actually happened?
Reaper crashes.

• Operating system: Manjaro
• Wine version: wine-staging 5.17.2-1
• Installation method: copy

Did you create a ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VSTPlugins/keFIRv1/msvcr71.so file by hand? Yabridgectl will only create those .so files for VST plugins, and msvcr71.dll is part of the MSVC++ 2003 runtime and definitely not a VST plugin so you should remove that .so file.

Also just a warning, simply moving VST plugins from other Wine prefixes often won't work (because they depend on other installed files). Although in this case since all of those plugins came in a .zip file without installers (right?) that's not a concern.

Well, I removed mscvr71.dll and now it's fine again (despite my other issue that they don't render). I have no idea where this file came from.

lthough in this case since all of those plugins came in a .zip file without installers (right?) that's not a concern.

Knew that, but thanks for the reminder. :)
