Broken loading of IDA libs in IDA 7.0 (Found in StructTyper)

[silascutler]

Hello,

Setup:

• Clean Install of IDA 7.0 with Flare-IDA install per README.md
• WIndows 7 x64

When running the StructTyper plugin, I receive the following error:

Failed while executing plugin_t.run():
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Program Files/IDA 7.0/plugins/struct_typer_plugin.py", line 47, in run
    idaapi.require('flare.struct_typer')
  File "C:\Program Files\IDA 7.0\python\ida_idaapi.py", line 153, in require
    m = importlib.import_module(modulename, package)
  File "C:\python27-x64\Lib\importlib\__init__.py", line 37, in import_module
    __import__(name)
  File "C:\Program Files\IDA 7.0\python\flare\struct_typer.py", line 48, in <module>
    g_dll = ctypes.windll[idaname + ".wll"]
  File "C:\python27-x64\Lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 437, in __getitem__
    return getattr(self, name)
  File "C:\python27-x64\Lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 432, in __getattr__
    dll = self._dlltype(name)
  File "C:\python27-x64\Lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 362, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
WindowsError: (126, 'The specified module could not be found')

The key error seems to be in:

g_dll = ctypes.windll[idaname + ".wll"]

Version 7.0 looks to have dropped the .will files (or I missed something on the installation). I tried changing it to .DLL and now get the following:

Thanks for the report. IDA 7.0 SDK changed a lot. We'll be updating our plugins in the next few months as we have time Feel free to add additional bug reports as you encounter them so we can track them.
