#272 Problem with installation/loading DWSIM 6 update 2

[Patrik Molnar]

Hi Daniel,

I installed successfully DWSIM 6.0 update 2 but whenever try to create a new steady state simulation I get this error:

"The type initializer for 'SkiaSharp.SKTypeface' threw an exception."

I found this in Details:

"System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'SkiaSharp.SKTypeface' threw an exception. ---> System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'sk_typeface_ref_default' in DLL 'libSkiaSharp'.

Sorry if my ticket is too long, I just tried to specify my problem.

Kind regards,

Dear Deryck,

I did not find yet the cause of the problem (unfortunately)

[Daniel Medeiros]

Hi guys, are you running DWSIM on Windows, Linux or macOS?

[Deryck]

Hi Daniel
I'm using Windows 10

[Sydney Zeederberg]

Same problem here, Windows 10 64

[Sydney Zeederberg]

Thank you, update worked

[Patrik Molnar]

I am using Win8.1 64-bit OS.
I used this sourceforge site to download and install software (not github and zip file).

[Daniel Medeiros]

Hi guys, please download and install again:

64-bit: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dwsim/files/DWSIM/DWSIM%206.0/Update%202/DWSIM_bin_v6u2_setup_win7win8win10_64bit.exe/download

32-bit: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dwsim/files/DWSIM/DWSIM%206.0/Update%202/DWSIM_bin_v6u2_setup_win7win8win10_32bit.exe/download

Daniel, the new download fixed the problem for me. Thanks.

[Deryck]

Thank you Daniel. It is fixed now. I appreciate your quick response.

Best regards
Deryck
