Summary

0003759: Auto-Updated installer fails to launch - Entry Point Not Found

Description

It seems like the latest release is broken and won't install via the auto-updater.

I'm currently on Doomseeker 1.3-190727-0915, and I'm getting a critical error when I try to run the new installer downloaded by the auto-updater. It says "The procedure entry point blah blah blah could not be located in the dynamic link library .... doomseeker-update-pkg--updater.exe".

See the steps to reproduce.

Steps To Reproduce

Run Doomseeker 1.3-190727-0915.
Wait for the notification that a new update is available.
Click "Download & Install" and wait for it to download.
Click "Restart & Install Now".
Boom - you'll get the error message in the screenshot, and the installer will fail to run.

Notes
(0021177) Zalewa (developer) 2020-01-31 07:17	Workaround: try copying libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll from Doomseeker's directory to C:\Users\Albert\AppData\Local\doomseeker\updates and tell me if it worked.

(0021179) haxmurderer (reporter) 2020-01-31 14:44	Zalewa: I copied those DLLs and it seems to get further. I see the updater.exe in the "updates" directory now, but I get this different error message. I used Dependency Walker to discover that it also needed libwinpthread-1.dll. If I copy that DLL over to the "updates" directory too, it works!

(0021180) Zalewa (developer) 2020-01-31 16:35	updater.exe needs to be statically linked. I'm afraid there's no real hotfix aside from this workaround for anyone else that may get this problem.
