otfinfo.exe missing dependencies

[KreativeKrise]

The otfinfo.exe does not run, because there are missing dependencies:

• MiKTeX230500-app.dll
• MiKTeX230500-core.dll
• MiKTeX230500-utf8wrap.dll
• MiKTeX230500-util.dll

Hi, I fixed this with help! You can take similar .dll files from your version of MiKTeX and rename them to this, like MiKTeX230400-app.dll becomes MiKTeX230500-app.dll, and place them into the folder with the powershell and .exe. Then run the liberator and this should work. Make sure your file folders aren't hidden.

For those looking for the dependency files:
Download the [MiKTeX installer] (~138 MB) from https://miktex.org/download
Open it with 7-Zip
Find the file "miktex-runtime-bin-x64-2.9.tar.lzma"
Go inside \miktex-runtime-bin-x64-2.9.tar\texmf\miktex\bin\x64
Here's you'll see all the MiKTeX240100-xxx.dll files.
Note that otfinfo.exe requires more dependencies, which you'll find in the other lzma.tar files inside the package.

I tried the above solution but still hit problems. Note I had to install MiKTeX, I wasn't able to just "open it with 7-Zip"
I did find the dlls under: User\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64

After that I got a pretty garbled error message:
"The procedure entry point ?WideCharToUTF8@StringUtil@Util@MiKTeX@@sa?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@Dstd@@v?$allocator@D@2@@std@@PEB_W@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Users\User\Downloads\adobe-fonts-liberator-main\otfinfo.exe"

Doesn't seem to be another dependency?

For anyone running into issues, install MiKTeX from this post (choose Install MiKTeX only for me option during install),
and then you'll want to change a line in the adobe-fonts-liberator.ps1 script:

From:
$binary = Join-Path -Path $PSScriptRoot -ChildPath 'otfinfo.exe'

To:
$binary = "C:\Users\$Env:UserName\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\otfinfo.exe"

This way, all the needed files (otfinfo.exe) + dependencies .dll files are already in your _C:\Users$Env:UserName\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64_ folder from the MiKTeX install, and the script will use it from there

Was so excited to use this and it just does not work at all.
