Thank you. If you need further details or have a good solution, please leave a message with me.

(Related issue: robotology/walking-teleoperation#98 (comment) ).

[SSSSamZhu]

Sorry for the nonsense, but I still can't solve the problem that the yarpdev application can't start properly. I hope someone can help me.

[traversaro]

Hello @SSSSamZhu, can you translate the error or at least provide it in text, so we can copy&paste it in the Google Translator? As you may image it is not trivial for us to type the error message from the image.

[SSSSamZhu]

Hi @traversaro ,
This is my mistake. The only wrong feedback I've gotten so far is this reminder. Whenever I run yarpdev, it prompts for this problem. I have retranslated the pictures using a screenshot translator. I hope the information is useful for you.

Beyond that, I haven't found any more detailed error messages.

[traversaro]

Error 0xc0000022 means that some of the dll required by the application have been found but that cannot be opened, either because they are corrupted or the permissions are wrong. Some useful tips for understanding which dll is problematic can be found at https://neosmart.net/wiki/0xc0000022/#Fixing_82200xc00000228221_on_Windows .

[SSSSamZhu]

I have tried all of the methods 1, 3, and 4 here with the desired results. However, when Yarpdev was finally re-run, the original problem occurred. When trying the 2 methods, Capture Events did not seem to be able to locate the application. And when running the fix software, it says that the ace.dll zlib. dLL jpeg8. dLL soxr.dll files cannot be found. I also tried to re-register all DDLS by running for % 1in (%windir%\system32*.dll)do regsvr32.exe/s %1.

But the problem was not solved.

[traversaro]

It seems that something strange is going on in the system. Did you try to reinstall the dependencies and recompile the superbuild?
