Entrenchment DLL Issue

from Stardock Forums

I am able to start and play Sins but when i try to start Entrenchment from Impulse I receive an error.

"This application has failed to start because fmod.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I have uninstalled and re-installed Entrenchment with a reboot between, and I still receive the same error. Is there a fix for this?

 

Thanks for the help.

You may need to manually remove the game folder, and delete 2 Registry Keys before you'll be able to re-install. Then the install should go
better.

Go to C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire (or where ever you installed the game) and delete the main folder.

Then launch the System Registry (Start-> run, and type regedit)
Look for and delete the following Keys;

For XP and Vista 32 bit;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\sins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\sinsentrench

For Vista 64 bit;
HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>sins
HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>sinsentrench

Then, reboot your PC and go back to Impulse and try installing the base game. Make sure it installs to 1.16 version, test it out before then
installing entrenchment.

Uninstalled them both then installed the Sins first then downloaded and installed entrenchment. It works fine now. Thanks for the help.
