[Solved]"This application has failed to start because fmod.dll was not found" - Rogmo - 03-08-2007

This happend after I installed 1.1 patch from gamershell.com.

From the experience I uninstalled and installed twice to make sure of the problem.

OS: Vista ultimate (32 bit)


I noticed i have two exex's Penumbra.exe from 1.1 (fmod.dll error) and Penumbra Overture Ep1 Demo.exe original.

Here is the crash report of 1.0:

This patch is NOT meant for the Penumbra: Overture demo.

It is a patch for the Penumbra TECH DEMO. The only patch that exist for the Penumbra: Overture demo is the one found here:

Please reinstall the demo and use the patch above if you have any problems.
