This seems to work at the moment for me on my Windows 10 machine.

Test in the morning if it works for on my end.

Doesn't work for me:

This is different from

The Legion command fails silently with no error message.

though.

Doesn't work for me:

To fix ERROR:action.exec:Execution failed: Function(mouse_alternates): [Error 126] The specified module could not be found. Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (x86).

[LexiconCode]

Retesting the behavior still as described in the OP.

[seekM]

Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (x86).

Thanks, this did the trick for me. legion command is recognized, boxes appear around text. However, further command aren't recognized. I probably experience #500?

I'm back on my Windows 7 computer and I now find that the "Legion" command does nothing...

[LexiconCode]

Out of curiosity what is your screen resolution and DPI on your 7 windows machine?

My current setup running 4K with 150 percent DPI. Wonder if it could be related to DPI / resolution. So I'll test that out on Tuesday or Monday.

I have changed my VirtualBox displays to be full-screen so that they are both 1920 x 1080. The Legion command still does nothing

[LexiconCode]

Here's an interesting find. I discovered that I did not have Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (x86). nor did it help to install it. So I decided to uninstall all versions of Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio then restart the computer and test.

Even with all Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio removed I still get the behavior described in the op when I should be receiving ERROR:action.exec:Execution failed: Function(mouse_alternates): [Error 126] The specified module could not be found

I'm installing Caster on a fresh Windows 10 Virtualbox, right next to my Windows 7 virtual box. I now have Legion working great, after installing the 2013 visual studio redistributable packages. Googlers should note well that this is a different package to that some people require to get Natlink working, despite the naming conventions of the files themselves being the same.

[LexiconCode]

I will close issue given that is working for everybody else.

[kendonB]

At some point I will experiment with removing the VS packages on my win7 computer and seeing which (if any) is breaking it.

[kendonB]

@seekM you mentioned legion isn't working for you again. Can you try uninstalling all your Visual C++ packages and then reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (x86)?

[LexiconCode]

I ended up ended up reformatting my desktop and I no longer have issues.
