You need to have the proper MSVCR DLL that corresponds to the version of MSVC used to compile the module either in your Windows system directory, or in the Unreal directory.

Perhaps it would be possible to modify UnrealIRCD to say this rather than say module not found?

Tell that to microsoft... this is the error message we receive from the OS.
I wish you good luck, though, as they have been very successful in making the world's least descriptive and the most confusing error messages... ever...

My C is very sketchy, but surely it cannot be too hard, on getting this error message to do a check for the existance of the file and output an error such as "The module was found but there was a problem utilizing it".

Syzop, is there any way of groping the module into telling us which version of MSVS compiled it, or even which DLL it requires before it loads? If we can get something of that nature out of the module, then we can at least check before attempting to load it.

If we can't do that, would there be a way to add something to the modules to do that?

Hopefully fixed in CVS .901:
- Windows: When trying to load a module (DLL) windows can give us the
  mysterious error 'The specified module could not be found' even though the
  file exists. This usually means that it depends on another DLL, but
  apparently Microsoft decided not to mention that in the error message.
  We now append some small text when such an error happens, saying that it
  could be because of a missing dependency. Reported by Phil.

completely untested. bad. i know.
