Using LuaInterface - ERROR_DLL_INIT_FAILED

Question

Using LuaInterface - ERROR_DLL_INIT_FAILED

I've been trying to integrate Lua into my managed code, using LuaInterface. I'm using the lua51.dll that came with the assembly I downloaded, but when I try to create a new Lua object, the constructor fails with ERROR_DLL_INIT_FAILED, or HRESULT 0x8007045A. I checked that I'm building as x86. What else can be the problem?

c#

dll

lua

Maybe you are mixing 32 bit and 64 bit ?
Is it possible that you might have a different version in your path ?
Try running with elevated privileges.
Check your DLL with Dependency Walker

I think the fastest way of solving this is...

Try to get a new Lua library here:

http://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/

Test with this new one and see if the problem disappears.

Just to make sure you're compiling as 32bit, add x86 to your csproj file's .

I had a similar issue, but I would like to guess you're not as stupid as me to only think you're compiling as 32 bit when it's actually compiling as 64bit..
