Error message: Could not load plugin

[gfrost]

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the clarification on what may be affected.

A colleague of mine has just installed and successfully run the -runmlwin- command without making any changes to the ado file. So it looks like the problem is local to my machine. I'm hoping that upgrading to Stata 12 will fix everything

Thanks once again.

Hi Chris et al

I also get the same bug as above, (Could not load plugin .... Using MLwiN 2.30, Stata 13.1, runmlwin is updated and I dog get my results from MLwiN, but the warning "getversion plugin could not be loaded" arises each time. Is this just a nuisance or will I continue to get everything I request? I'm in a bit of hurry now so don't have time to fiddle with the ado code above (and I may need the batch feature for my huge dataset). P.S. The checksum turns out alright.

You should be able to ignore this as the -getversion- plugin is only use to ensure that you have a compatible (i.e. fairly recent) version of MLwiN and for reporting the MLwiN version used in the model output. Possible causes I can think of for this not to work are:

• You aren't using Windows.
• You have the 64-bit plugin version and are running the 32-bit Stata or vice versa
• You are don't have the necessary C++ run-time installed (i.e. http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download ... px?id=5582 or http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download ... px?id=2092).
