bareos-tray-monitor - Windows 11 - "libpcre2-8-0.dll not found

[Dirk Koppka]

Did somone come across this error on Windows machines?

I believe since version before last and definitely with "current" and "next" (as of today) I get the following error message, when starting bareos-tray-monitor (my translation as I have a German Windows):

The code execution cannot be continued, as libpcre2-8-0.dll could not be found.

I tried re-installing and as said, current (winbareos-23.0.3~pre104.aaf825630-release-64-bit.exe) and next (winbareos-24.0.0~pre528.65982df91-release-64-bit.exe) versions.

I only install tray/monitor and bareos client. Google does not reveal any info in connection to bareos but has reports of the missing DLL in connection to other software. I believe (not an expert on building software) it might have something to do with the build of the tray monitor software package but await the experts view on it. I might be off.

By the way, Windows is the latest version (23H2 / 22631.3447).

Thanks and any input welcome.

I realized that I probably broke that recently. It is "just" a packaging
issue (i.e. that DLL should be in the package, but isn't).

I created an issue for this problem - feel free to comment or subscribe:
https://github.com/bareos/bareos/issues/1801

I also took the time to extract the DLL from the Fedora RPM and shared
it here: https://filetransfer.io/data-package/e4UXDrLF#link
If you decide to download it from there, please check the sha256
matches ab1c2d49c0d314a171131d7c855b1551dbb2c6b4e68ef39f52f1eded36384f5d
as I'm not sure how trustworthy that service is.

Best Regards,
Andreas

Confirmed. Working again w/DLL manually copied.
