I know that par2 does not need tbbmalloc. However, you can check with Process Monitor or similar tools, that after starting, it looks for tbbmalloc.dll and loads it if found. I checked the TBB docs but I could not find a reference to this behaviour. So I'm not sure why this happens. Matlab keeps its...

As I said above, the problem is that tbb.dll dynamically tries to load tbbmalloc.dll. It is not included with the par2 binary so usually this fails and tbb does its job without it. However, if some other software is installed that does include tbbmalloc.dll (like Matlab), tbb.dll will happily use th...

Another workaround is of course to rename par2.exe to par2-multicore.exe and to copy par2-classic.exe to par2.exe.

This get's rid of the error message with the downside that par2-classic only uses one core...

Hi, I'm having the same problem. The reason seems to be that the tbb library tries to load tbbmalloc.dll, which is not included with the par2 binary. In my case it is found in the Matlab directory, which is in the PATH. It is however linked against the 8.0 runtime and therefore causes the error mess...
