The Great Work / Re: FIXED: The Great Work DOA (won't start)
« on: February 08, 2013, 18:54:22 »
It's possible that it's a slightly older version that's incompatible with some hardware on my machine; this is the second time I've encountered an issue that involved OpenAL32.dll.

The version packaged with Great Work 1.0.1 doesn't show any version info in Properties, but it differs in size (Great Works version of the .dll is 273 Kb, modified on 11/17/12, whereas the one updated by OAInst.exe is 120 Kb, modified on 2/5/13, file version 6.14.357.24)

The Great Work / Update FIXED: The Great Work DOA (won't start)

After polling the Windows Event Log, I noticed that the culprit was the OpenAL32.dll packaged with Great Works. I ran OAInst.exe (from http://connect.creativelabs.com/developer/Wiki/OpenAL%20Installer%20for%20Windows.aspx) to make sure the version I have in windows/system32 is up to date, then I copied OpenAL32.dll from windows/system32 to the Great Works install folder.

Just posting here for reference in case anyone else experiences the same issue as I.

Cheers!

I tried both methods of installation, into different directories. I also ran as administrator and not.

Every time I try to run The Great Work, I get nothing. No processes even appear to start. No flash, no infinitesimally transient window, not a whiff. Any ideas?

Windows 7 64bit, NVIDIA GeForce 310M, DoctorGL tells me I have the capabilities referenced in another thread on this forum.

Thanks in advance!
