Hi,

First of all, stop using rar, and compress your project with regular zip instead, that's the only format supported in most places.

Second, dll and other libraries that aren't lua files won't ever work from compressed archives, you'd need to copy them out to the save folder for them to work.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm new to Love and don't have any knowledge in programming language, but i'll do my best to follow your steps cause i really want the game to work.

I received the file as '' Your.Music.Puzzle.rar ''. As per your instruction, i renamed the compressed file to '' Your.Music.Puzzle.zip ''

I then unzipped the file and got a folder named '' Your.Music.Puzzle ''

When i open the ''Your.Music.Puzzle'' folder, i get the dll files and subfolders (see screenshot from my post)

The ''l ove.exe '' app from the '' Your.Music.Puzzle '' is outdated to 11.2

I then downloaded and installed the latest version of 11.5. The new 11.5 Love.exe app is in the '' C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\LOVE ''

Then, prior to my research on the web, i did the following:

I dragged the folder named '' Your.Music.Puzzle '' to the 11.5 Love.exe app. ( It give me the right to '' + open with Love 11.5 '' )

Then i receive the '' The specified module could not be found '' along with the traceback.

You can't just change a file extension and expect it to work. You have to extract the entire thing and then re-compress as a .zip file. Also, there's some kind of corruption with the file you provided (maybe just having the wrong extension). I didn't investigate further because it seems like you got it from a site dedicated to cracking/pirating legit software. That's where my help ends unless you can demonstrate a legitimate source for this.
