[SOLVED]Visual Studio - SDL2 + CEGUI - failed to load module libXML

[drwbns]

Hello everyone. Its been forever since I used CEGUI. Last time I used CEGUI was with OGRE but now I am trying to get it working with SDL2. I built all dependencies from source and everything built fine and is super organized. All I am trying to do now is to get the simple SDL2 example working but it is giving me a hard time now:

The only edits I had to make are adding:

#define CEGUI_USE_GLEW

and also fixing the CEGUI::MouseButton names

The problem is I am hitting an exception when loading "CEGUILibXMLParser_d.dll" within setupXMLParser(). The odd thing is that all the proper dlls are in the working directory so I am stumped what is happening here. All other dlls are loading fine. Screenshot attached. Thanks for any help!

EDIT: I thought maybe there was something not right about using libxml so I rebuilt cegui with expat and also built the SDL2 and GLFW samples along with it and the expat dll is also failing to load in both samples as well. Something isn't quite right here.

This guy had same issue but he just didn't have dlls in working dir: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7447

Try to output the working directory from code into the console:

What does it say?

Full path looks correct to me.

EDIT: I was able to output to the Output window since this isn't a console app using OutputDebugString just to be sure the path looks good, which it is correct. Below you can even see that glew dll has loaded properly. I can't for the life of me think what can cause dlls to not load other than antivirus, which I have turned off just to be sure. But since glew loaded properly, I am wondering if its just CEGUI freaking out somehow. Not sure about anything at this point.

I don't have any suggestion, can't reproduce

I looked at process monitor and found it was because libexpatd.dll was missing Why that wasn't showing in debug calls I'm not too sure. But anyways, now a new problem in initializing, but I'll start a new thread for it.
