error loading zeroconf externals - solved

help
  • havajihavaji

    So.

    After a couple of years away from these forums i thought i'd update to serialosc, time to leave monomeserial behind! Followed the setup instructions but when i open the monome_test app the max window says

    "error 14001 loading external zeroconf.resolve"

    and the same for zeroconf.browser. I've tried moving the externals around but where i place them shouldn't matter, right? I also tried downloading them again but still get the above message.

    I'm on windows xp sp3 max 5

    I'm guessing i'm stupid....any other ideas?

    You put the externals in the Cycling 74/Max-externals folder right? It does matter AFAIK that they are in there specifically. Have you also stopped running monomeserial?

  • havajihavaji

    I tried in the externals folder, didn't work. I thought you could just put them anywhere in the max folder but maybe i'm wrong. Also, it's a clean install so monomeserial is not the problem.....

    Do you have Bonjour installed? Itunes will install it automatically though I think you can also install the bonjour print services.

  • havajihavaji

    I don't have itunes but yes, bonjour is installed, although im not sure how to check if it's "working"....

    yep, the ones in the setup guide

  • havajihavaji

    Found a thread in the Max forums hinting that i needed to install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or 2008 Redistributable Package". I don't know what that is or why i don't have it when everyone else seems to but it's working now.
    Thanks for the help.

    ah. this is due to XP. this should be added to the setup guide, thanks for your good discovery.
