lua ZeroBrane Studio failed to initialize lua511.dll not found - lua

First time user of Lua and installed version 5.3.5 then tried to install the IDE - ZeroBrane Studio.
Unfortunately when I start ZeroBrane Studio it says the following:
Failed to initialize editor
The lua511.dll could not be found or loaded, please check the working directory of the application.

There is something completely wrong, as there is no lua511.dll, only lua51.dll, and I can find no references to lua511.dll anywhere in the project or generated binary files.
If you are launching the IDE using zbstudio.exe, you can also try launching it using bin\lua src\main.lua command to see if it makes any difference. You can also try launching bin\lua to see if it launches (as it depends on the same lua51.dll library).
If you are launching it using a shortcut, then check its "Properties" and set "Start in" to the location where you installed the IDE (the location of zbstudio.exe file).

As my experience, I have never seen a lua511.dll and if it says that then there must be something wrong with your program.
There should only be a lua51.dll, although if you'd like, you can just rename it to lua511.dll but there should be a more professional fix towards it.
As this just may be a grammar issue, make sure your lua51.dll is actually there, or if it might be in the wrong directory. If it's in the right directory or if its there then do reinstall it with common troubleshooting tips.

"The Application Was Unable to Start (0xc000007b)"

I have some problem about .exe files.
I writed a program using "visual studio 2019" (using MariaDB and Qt).
The exe file that compiled this program works normally on my PC. But when I run it on another PC, the error message below will be printed out.
"The Application Was Unable to Start (0xc000007b)"
In order to solve this problem, i tried something below as:
check xinput1_3.dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64
install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable(x64) - 14.34.31931
install all runtimes using "All in One Runtimes"
However, the program still doesn't work.
If anyone can help me, I really appreciate it.
enter image description here
I tried using DependencyWalker and provided DLL files at same path.
However, "The Application Was Unable to Start (0xc000007b)" is still occurs.
That error code typically indicates you are missing one or more needed DLLs on the other computer. Dependency Walker is an excellent tool for figuring out which one it is.
Download it on the other computer and use it to analyze your .exe there.

How to install Lua GUI in ZBS IDE

I am completely new to programming in Lua outside a sandbox.
I have found a library called Lua GUI that I'd like to use (https://github.com/williamwilling/luagui/). I have still not understood how to quite install the library, and how I even go about using it.
That's part 1 of my question; How can I install Lua GUI(or an library for that matter), and then how do I go about actually using it? By that I mean, is it as simple as writing a program that starts with "require "gui"" and then running it, or is there more to it?
Part 2 of my question is then how do I go about installing it as a package for ZeroBrane Studio IDE, I have no idea at all what the readme file is instructing me to do so I would be grateful if someone could clarify.
If you copy the contents of the src folder in the luagui project to your project directory you should be able to call:
local gui = require("gui")
in your main Lua file and use it that way.

OpenCV 2.4.2 library files using CMake and MinGW - Target IDE CodeBlocks

I have been having this issue with OpenCV 2.4.2 that it doesn't really get installed properly with Microsoft VS 2010 Express; It is always missing a dll file or two doesn't matter what I follow by Googling. Also, Visual Studio 2010 Express is only valid for a few days, so it is acceptable that VS will not behave well with OpenCV at that point. However, when I changed my IDE to CodeBlocks, it is even stranger because now I have missing dll files and also "Missing Entry Point" error because of a duplicate .dll file. I found this guide and followed what it told me to do:
http://conanhung.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/opencv-2-2c-codeblocks-and-mingw-got-it-working-on-windows/
But it still doesn't work!! What I am after is a complete and definitive solution to integrating OpenCV (preferrably 2.4.2 version) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I have been turning Stackoverflow inside out but no solution is working for me. The problems are
WHEN USING VISUAL STUDIO:
Missing dll file (e.g. libopencv_core242d.dll, etc.)
WHEN USING CODE BLOCKS:
First it complains that libstdc++-6.dll is missing. When I download it to my C:\MinGW\libexec\gcc\mingw32\4.7.0 folder, it stops complaining about this. But now it complains that there is any entry point problem and some other .dll file is missing!!!
If someone has managed to make it work by hook or crook, I will be more than happy to know what it is, IN DEPTH. I don't believe that such an important library can be so stupidly distributed so that developers have to struggle night and day to make this work.
FYI, I have tried even the OPenCV website and frankly their instructions are a bit useless. Also, all the necessary information e.g. adding PATH, adding includes and libraries, etc. Please someone point me to the right direction as it has been two days and I cannot get anywhere. It is literally stopping my job now :(
As an answer, but probably a very simple one, I did the following and got rid of the problem:
1) Uninstalled code::blocks completely from the PC and downloaded the IDE-only version (i.e. withouth MinGW compiler), then installed it.
2) Downloaded the latest stable version of MinGW, installed, and added C:\MinGW\bin to PATH
3) Followed rest of the instructions from [link] http://conanhung.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/opencv-2-2c-codeblocks-and-mingw-got-it-working-on-windows/
4) Just to be sure, copied the opencv .dll files from the build folder (i.e. the one that you have created "make" and "install" files using CMake) to the debug (i.e. the executables') folder.
This will fix the problems. In case, it doesn't it might be that you need to add some environment variables.

Error in xml file while creating a project in black berry

I just created a new project in the eclipse and as soon as it was created, it is created with the error below
InvalidRegex:
Pattern value '([a-zA-Z_]{1,63}[\s-a-zA-Z_0-9.]{0,63}[;]?)*' is not a valid
regular expression.
The reported error was: ''-' is an invalid character range.
Write '\-'.' at column '{2}'.
BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml Unknown XML Problem.
This is the problem which we will get when there is jre7 in our system which is not supported by eclipse
What is the problem here? How can i rectify this? thank you
Google shows this is related to Java 7. Check these two links:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/problem-with-the-BlackBerry-App-Descriptor-xml-in-Eclipse-Plug/td-p/959029 and http://cdrussell.blogspot.com/2011/09/blackberry-eclipse-error-invalid-regex.html
The second one tells:
Turns out this could be caused by having Java JRE 7 installed on your
machine. The BlackBerry plugin doesn't support this yet, Eclipse might
be trying to use that.
The fix? You simply have to edit the eclipse.ini that will live in the
same directory as your eclipse.exe that you use to start the IDE.
Closing Eclipse and making a backup of eclipse.ini before you do this
would be a good idea.
Find the line "openFile" and immediately after, add the following:
-vm C:/Program Files/Java/jre6/bin/javaw.exe [or wherever your jre6 directory might be]
Cross your fingers and restart Eclipse. Rebuild your projects.

Error in BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml

I've installed Blackberry Java plugin 1.3.0.
When I create a new project BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml shows error.
What is the problem? Is there any environment path problem? If yes, what should to set path?
InvalidRegex: Pattern value '([a-zA-Z_]{1,63}[\s-a-zA-Z_0-9.]{0,63}[;]?)*' is not a valid regular expression
you should of course follow the hint in the error and check that none of your values in your BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml will fail the regex.
However, there is a very strange case whereby you will see this error regardless of your values. In fact, creating a new project straight from Eclipse will still show the error.
Turns out this could be caused by having Java JRE 7 installed on your machine. The BlackBerry plugin doesn't support this yet, Eclipse might be trying to use that.
The fix? You simply have to edit the eclipse.ini that will live in the same directory as your eclipse.exe that you use to start the IDE. Closing Eclipse and making a backup of eclipse.ini before you do this would be a good idea.
Find the line "openFile" and immediately after, add the following:
-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jre6/bin/javaw.exe [or wherever your jre6 directory might be]
Cross your fingers and restart Eclipse.
Rebuild your projects.
