Research direction

Start with the reported mp.essentials.dll load failure and the vvvv log entry naming SimMetrics.Net, Version=1.0.5.0. Reproduce it with vvvv_50beta38.1_x64 and confirm the work is done when mp.essentials.dll loads without the missing-assembly exception and its nodes are no longer red.

Description

Hi microdee,

I couldn't get mp.essentials.dll to work and all nodes are red. When I dragged mp.essentials.dll into vvvv, the log showed as below
Exception during extracting node infos from file D:\vvvv\vvvvexe\vvvv_50beta38.1_x64\packs\mp.essentials\nodes\plugins\mp.essentials.dll: Could not load file or assembly 'SimMetrics.Net, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c58dc06d59f3391b' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

version: vvvv_50beta38.1_x64

Could you guide me to solve this? Thank you.
