[ArchiCAD26 EDU] - Error at startup, libmmd.dll missing

DawsonL — Thu, 25 May 2023 15:24:23 GMT

Hello Everyone, I'm currently struggling with the "libmmd.dll" error at startup on ArchiCAD26 EDU. I have contacted my local support regarding Archicad but they didn't know how to resolve the problem either so that's the reason for the post.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Archicad from scratch multiple times. This did not resolve the issue.
After that, I proceeded to uninstall and reinstall Cinema 4D. This ended up not working either.

After further research, I stumbled across a post about this issue with a previous version of Archicad.

Link: "https://community.Graphisoft.com/t5/Setup-License-forum/ArchiCAD25-Error-at-startup-libmmd-dll-missing/m-p/326782"
Unfortunately, I did not see which visual C++ version had to be used for Archicad 26 EDU.

Many thanks in advance and kind regards,
Dawson

They are links to the old forum.

Here is a link to an article in this forum (a simple search found it).

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Let-s-get-started/Archicad-26-Install-and-Start-up-Troubleshooting-Guide/ta-p/338788

It will link you to another article that has the 3rd party installers you need, but only goes up to version 25.

I would give that a go (I think the C++ installer might be the same one you want.

I have asked in the comment section if there is an update for 26, so keep an eye on that.

Barry.

Hello,

I wanted to comment on this. I used the post "3rd party installers for Graphisoft products" which lists the additional software for the usage of Archicad 21-25.

https://community.Graphisoft.com/t5/Setup-License-articles/3rd-party-installers-for-Graphisoft-products/ta-p/304074

I installed all the Archicad 25 additional software, and didn't reinstall it but used the "repair" function which checked the software and repaired it. I proceeded to launch Archicad 26 and it worked fine after. The issue of the libmmd.ddl missing was resolved. I assume it was an issue with one of the software that was installed prior.

Regards,
Dawson
