Ultima Expansion

Endless Journey

I finally figured out that you need to setup servuo with the classic client before you can use the ec. Fine np. I got two systems working with this however my older windows 7 setup is crashing out. As soon as I use an admin command it crashes. It says it can't find zlib64 from the servuo directory like it forgot where servuo is while it's running razor. Weird. Here's the crash log. Thanks for any input.

zLib

Solution to: Unable to load DLL 'zlibwapi64': The specified module could not be found.

However most systems have installed a current version of Visual Studio redistributable package, if this is not the case your ServUO may not find zlibwapi64.dll even if its is in the correct folder.

Issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...th-hresult-0x8007007e-when-loading-64-bit-dll

Solution: You may download latest version (current Visual Studio redistributable package 2015 Update 3) from official source:

Thank you very much. That worked.
Someone should make a clear comprehensive guide on what exact programs you need to have installed and the full proceedure for installing, stuck in the tutorials section of the forum. I think the wiki one has been deleted. There are only bits and pieces all over the place.
