Likely a missing visual c++ redistributable. Please install/repair VC++ redists from 2010 on to 2015 and check in between each installation if the application starts, so we can include the installer to NINA.

Seems like an x86 issue. Not sure why the DLL cannot be loaded there. For the latest version will try to load the module and if unsuccessful log the error but continues instead of not loading any camera at all.

[Stanley Dimant]

Error 0x8007007E is very often related to not being able to load DLLs because of missing dependencies.

Here are the x86 dependencies for this DLL.

As you can tell it's MSVCR/P120.dll which corresponds to VC++ Redistributable 2013.

NINA (1.5.0.1, before the fix) in x86 is working fine for me, does not crash and loads the DLL successfully.

I got this issue when updating to the latest sdk so i reverted it back. Maybe you can have a look here.

[Stefan B]

Should be fixed by now.
