Team,

     I am new to the dev group and have compiled my first windows binaries
today based on what was pulled using kicad-winbuilder-3.4 (Kicad BZR build
4955).

     The binaries were created fine - and I was able to load kicad.exe
using RunKicad.bat

     My issue is the error:

     Failed to load shared library
     'Y:\Kicad_Build\kicad-winbuilder-3.4\kicad\bin\_pcbnew.kiface' (error
0: the operation completed successfully.)

      I have searched for this error and see it is not uncommon.  However,
in all threads I have read - the problem was with the makefile failing to
copy the _*.kiface files to the kicad/bin directory.  This is not the case
here.  I see the files have landed there:

 Directory of Y:\Kicad_Build\kicad-winbuilder-3.4\kicad\bin
06/26/2014  01:59 PM         6,596,731 _cvpcb.kiface
06/26/2014  01:59 PM         6,728,781 _eeschema.kiface
06/26/2014  01:59 PM         2,771,868 _gerbview.kiface
06/26/2014  01:59 PM        17,465,298 _pcbnew.kiface
06/26/2014  01:59 PM         2,219,655 _pcb_calculator.kiface
06/26/2014  01:59 PM         2,463,434 _pl_editor.kiface

       EEschema can load, pcb_calculator loads, bitmap2component loads,
 gerbview loads.  However both PCBNew and CvPCB fail with the "shared
library" error.

       No directory contains a space.  I have checked the permissions of
_pcbnew.kiface (which is complained as not found) and _eeschema.kiface
(which has no complaints when loading eeschema.exe) and see no differences
in permissions.  I am attempting to load as administrator.

       Given the software is reporting a missing file that exists, what is
the issue?

       Not that it necessarily makes any difference, but I am using the
bzr-win-zip-2.6b1-1 binaries to pull (checkout) the source.  This is not
the cause of any issue since building was not a problem.

Regards,
Jason
