As the title states, I have the error 126. I do not know what happened, but it was working fine before today.

Sorry for the late reply.
What version of Rainmeter are you using?

Hello,
Did you try with another skin? If so, do you still have the same error? Try to reinstalling Raimeter. Delete the old installation.

It seems that Error 126 is related to the missing of the Visual C++ libraries from your computer. To fix this issue, download and install the Visual C++ redistributable packages here: https://www.rainmeter.net/redist
Be careful to download its correct version (32-bit or 64-bit).
Other plugins (like WebPaser) are working?

Those are the .NET runtimes, which is unrelated to this issue.balala wrote:It seems that Error 126 is related to the missing of the Visual C++ libraries from your computer. To fix this issue, download and install the Visual C++ redistributable packages here: https://www.rainmeter.net/redist

You shouldn't need any C++ runtime libraries with recent versions of Rainmeter, as the app will use any Visual Studio 2015 C++ runtimes installed, but will use embedded functionality if they are not found. It might be possible that a "corrupted" installation of the C++ runtimes could cause an issue, you might want to get and install the packager found here:

I have done this before, and it does not work still. I looked at other threads.jsmorley wrote:Those are the .NET runtimes, which is unrelated to this issue.

Are other plugins working? Especially WebParser, but not just.untuned wrote:I have done this before, and it does not work still. I looked at other threads.
Or you could try uninstalling then reinstalling Rainmeter. I'm not sure if this could help, but maybe it worth a try.
Re: Plugin: Unable to load "NowPlaying" (error 126)
This is the only plugin I use, so not really any help there, and I also "nuked" Rainmeter as well, still no luck.balala wrote:Are other plugins working? Especially WebParser, but not just.

Re: Plugin: Unable to load "NowPlaying" (error 126)
But please try another. Eg download this (or any other weather skin) and install it. Set your location (add a value for the Zip1 and Unit1 variables into the CloCalWe\@Resources\Settings.inc file - see below), then load any weather skin from the package (eg CloCalWe\Weather\Weather+.ini). Is it working? If it is, the WebParser plugin is working. Is it?untuned wrote:This is the only plugin I use, so not really any help there
The Zip1 variable is your weather code (four letters and four digits - if you don't know your code, use this to find it out), while Unit1 can be equal with m (for temperatures in Celsius degrees) or i (for temperatures in Fahrenheit degrees).
