mushclient.exe unable to start

when i try to install mush client I get a message that says "mushclient dialog
the program could not start because lua5.1 dll is missing from your computer"
how do i fix this issuexxx

That DLL is part of the download. Which version did you download exactly and from where?

Version 5.05 if available here: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=13918

I downloaded the latest version from the website it was the zip file version

The version I linked to does not come with a zip file version.

i think it is the alternative download

Please be more specific about exactly what you downloaded and from where. Give the exact download link you used.

this is where i got the download from


http://www.gammon.com.au/files/mushclient/MUSHclient_4.94.zip

Can you please try version 5.05:

http://www.gammon.com.au/files/mushclient/mushclient505.exe

Either way, the 4.94 zip definitely contains lua5.1.dll. I wonder if maybe you have an overzealous antivirus program that likes to just delete random files for no reason.

do you know where i can get the output functions plugin for mush client?

nick, i just installed mush client 5.1, i put the plugins in the right place, and it still didn't work it still keeps saying mush chl1

Can you take a screenshot? "mush chl1" doesn't make any sense to me.

okay guys i figured it out. i found a portible version of mush client at

http://www.allinaccess.com

it works. buy they, i'm useing a screne reader. i should've told you that sooner. sorry about that.

Specifically, here: http://www.allinaccess.com/mc/

Note that they mention this was made in 2011, so the MUSHclient version will be somewhat out of date. There probably wouldn’t be any issue with replacing MUSHclient.exe in their download (once unzipped) with a more recent version. However, I haven’t tested that.

so if i can you email me the mushclient.exe file only then i can coppy it into the folder of the one that i'm using. do you think that will work?

The easiest one to get would probably be the one at https://github.com/nickgammon/mushclient/releases/download/latest_commit/MUSHclient.exe
