Hi everyone,
after using IF clauses in my workspace, I started getting this warning that immediately terminates my translation.

Could not load module 'C:\Program Files\FME\plugins\if_func.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found'. 

I tried reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributables for both x64 and x86  as I saw here on another thread, but that didn’t work. Is there any other solution? Thanks in advance.

    Hi ​@fazacasbianca! Thanks for sharing the troubleshooting you've done so far! Could you also check if the file exists at C:\Program Files\FME\plugins\if_func.dll? It's possible software (like an antivirus) is blocking this from installing, so it might be worth checking for that as well.

    Also, what version of FME are you using? And if you go to the Windows Event Viewer (Windows Logs > Application), do you see any specific error entries (like 0xc0000005)? 

    I'd also recommend checking out this Troubleshooting Guide for information gathering if you haven't seen it already, and if we can't resolve it here, feel free to open a support case with us here. 

    Happy FME-ing!
