vcredist VS Dependencies

p.s. I am not sure if this applies to you, but I heard 'unarc.dll' errors can potentially be fixed by installing... https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases ; basically the "VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe". it's basically a all-in-one visual c++ as it makes all of that stuff up to date.

1) VC++ redist is corrupt, reinstall these

is this the one https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist?

hey man, just download this, then reboot your PC and it should do the trick.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005-2008-2010-2012-2013-2022 Redistributable Package (forum.oszone.net, VisualCppRedist AIO Repack GitHub)

https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases - this sorts out MS mess.

Then in order to update VC I recommend downloading the all in one pack make sure to grab v73 https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases it will download every single VC redistributable & update existing ones.

I did some digging with Dependencies and found that issue is with libstdc++-6.dll

Maybe Dependency Walker can shed some light on that 🤔

I did that, basically. Problem is there is a clblast.dll (on windows) that llama.dll depends on, and it llama-cpp-python always failed dependency resolve to find it. I copied the dll to the right folder, loading it manually via CDLL worked fine, and https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies also confirmed the dll was findable. When loading DLL's in windows, it checks the same folder for dependency dll's (and a few other places).

You can uses dependencies walker to detect the exact version of MS c++ runtime required.

If that doesn't work you will have to do it the hard way like i did. Using Dependencies to find the missing dlls

("Dependencies" is Dependencies.exe from https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies)

If you're using MinGW or Cygwin and link in an arbitrary number of system libraries, then you need to ship those files as well. You can use Dependencies to list all DLLs your program is using, including transient dependencies.

A couple of them, yes. Someone else linked Dependencies which is much more modern and doesn't have some of the issues these older applications have. Thank you for the suggestions regardless.
