[Windows] UnrealIRCd 6.2.2 - Missing RPC modules (message.dll & security_group.dll) in fresh install
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2026 4:45 pm
I finally decided to perform a fresh installation of UnrealIRCd 6.2.2 today (I was previously using 6.1.5).
I performed a fresh installation from the official site, which I have done several times in the past. However, this time I am encountering a problem: the IRCd will not load or connect. The logs indicate that two modules are missing.
I attempted to reinstall UnrealIRCd in the hope that it would restore the missing files, but the following modules are still absent:
Upon checking C:\Program Files\UnrealIRCd 6\modules\rpc, I found only 11 module files, whereas there should be 13 (presumably including message.dll and security_group.dll).
I am wondering if this is a known issue awaiting a patch in the next version, or if I should obtain the files from another source? I am not experienced with compiling software on Windows. I checked the FAQ regarding 'undefined symbols,' which suggests an improper upgrade or compilation, but this was a fresh install using the unrealircd-6.2.2.exe installer.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks.
