Failure to load plugin

[jassing]

I had a call; and was able to replicate the issue.
On NT4, a plugin failed to load.
While it's disappointing; the issue was coded around (already) in case it didn't load for whatever reason -- what I would like is to have these errors "trappable" instead of just a crashing error.

Do you recall which plugin this was occurring with? If possible, could you send a copy of the plugin to our support department to use to test on our end? It will really depend where the crash is occurring.

Thanks

Sorry Darryl -- I do not; I'm guessing the zip plugin or sqlite.....

We have since dropped support for NT... I searched the code for notes on plugin load failure; but didn't find anything.

I do know that if you try to use the audio plugin from AMS in SUF it fails...

With 3rd party plugins getting popular; there may be instnaces where it fails (like a dependancy on .net 3.5 or something) -- a "runtime trappable" error would be nice. or even just setting the table to nil....

I've submitted it to be looked at to see if there is anything we can catch within our control prior to the crash, thank you.
