I followed the instructions per the tutorial.  I am running .net framework 4.  I have unblocked the server and have ran the app.exe file as admin and I am still running into the error.  Has anyone found a solution to this problem.  It seems pretty common but I haven't seen a solution.  Also is there a specific editor that I should use to looks at the server.dll file?

 

Thanks,

 

Josh

YOU HAVE TO REGISTER THE B2SBackglassServer.dll

BY DOUBLE-CLICKING  B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe

 

If you have did this right it should say the B2SBackglassServer.dll is registered.

 

NOW SHOULD WORK.

 

 

INSTALLING THE B2S BACKGLASS SERVER

   The download contains these 4 files and a text file with instructions.

1) B2SBackglassServer.dll

2) B2SBackglassServerEXE.exe

3) B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe

4) B2SServerPluginInterface.dll

   These 4 files need to be moved into your tables folder where Visual Pinball is installed.

C:/Program Files/Visual Pinball/Tables (May be different for you, this is where mine is installed)

  To run the "B2S Backglass Server" program, you will need at least .NET Framework 4 installed on your computer. If you don't have it. Download direct link here...http://www.microsoft...n.aspx?id=17718

  If you are not sure if this is already installed on your computer, you can go into your control panel and go to where you add or remove programs and see if NET FRAMEWORK is installed. Or when you run the "B2S Backglass Server" program, it will say if you need to install it or not. It is best to wait until the program tells you that it needs to be installed, that way you dont put an old version of .net framework on your system. (Not sure if it installs over newer versions, but better safe than sorry)

   Once these 4 items are in the "Tables" folder, (VERY IMPORTANT) You may need to right-click on each of the 4 items and click properties then click compatibility and click run as administrator.

(Probably Windows Vista and up will need to do this)

 

 

You will need to double-click the 3rd item "B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe" to register dll after you make compatible to run as administrator.

 

   If you have did this right it should say the B2SBackglassServer.dll is registered.

AND NOW SHOULD WORK.

 

If not...

I don’t know if anyone can help me, my Windows 7 was playing funny buggers and was giving me a couple of Blue screens. On one reboot i noticed by B2S was not working. I tried to re-register the using the B2S Back glass Register App but i also get that same error, i have tried upgrading to Windows 10 same thing. Thing was my windows 7 sfc wouldn’t work, windows update wouldn’t work etc. I tried repairing my Netframework but that did not help either. 

 

Any thoughts?

I've had some problems with windows update a while back. The resolution was to install these two kb manually : Windows6.1-KB3020369-x64.msu and Windows6.1-KB3172605-x64.msu.


From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.
