VcarvePro 8.5 won’t start

Post by Mr.Chips »

My VcarvePro won’t start and I get this error message.

“Failed to start because PSTILLDLL.dll was not found.”

What do I need to do to get that laptop running VcarvePro again.

Thanks
HH

Have you tried reinstalling VCPro from your Portal?

I wonder how that DLL file went missing?

You can have look to see if it is still there. In Windows Explorer navigate to the folder:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\VCarve Pro 8.5\Win32
and you should find that DLL file there. There may be 6 more DLL files and a VCARVE.EXE there.
