When I try to install meshalyzer from meshalyzer_win64-5.3.zip on Windows 11-64, I get an error: Cannot find 'cygfreetype-6.dll',so I downloaded it from the Internet, but cygfreetype-6.dll only has the 32bit version. What should I do to install meshalyzer correctly? 

Thanks

Hi,

Try this file cygfreetype-6.dll . I suggest unzipping the dll inside the meshalyzer folder where the other dlls are.

Cheers,

Jorge

And what is the issue that you have? Do you have an error message?

it returns : Cannot find 'cygfreetype-6.dll'
after unzipping the dll inside the meshalyzer folder,it returns :
cygfreetype-6.dll is not specified to run on Windows, or it contains an error.
when I try to install it and run regsvr32 cygfreetype-6.dll  in cmd,it returns:
The module "cygfreetype-6.d" may be incompatible with the version of Windows you are running. Check whether this module is compatible with the x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of regsvr32.exe.

The cygfreetype-6.dll problem  was solved, but a new one appeared:
Cannot find 'cygbrotlidec-1.dll'
Cannot find 'cygbz2-1.dll'
This is really confusing.Maybe there is something wrong with my operation?

This is strange. Could you please provide some specifications on your OS and machine? An alternative would be to install cygwin in your system and donwload the necessary dlls.

I updated the zip file and tested in a different machine. Please try downloading meshalyzer using this link

To add to Jorge's answer, this DLL is included in the latest meshalyzer release: https://git.opencarp.org/openCARP/meshalyzer/-/releases/5.3
