I've been away from DW2 for awhile. I downloaded the update and also ran the legacy 1064 to version up.

When trying to run DW2 it failed to load without indication as to why. An inspection of the event log showed the entry and the error was that it couldn't find the freetype dll.

I found that the dll wasn't in win-x64 folder but in the x64 folder. I copied it over and have been able to load it up.

This is just a heads up for anyone having a similar issue as I couldn't find anything via search except in the update notice.

I just want to say that I had the same problem with 1083 and used the same solution.

I had the same problem, but not being as Windows-literate as you would never have figured it out on my own. Thank you so much!
