Put 7z.dll into the T1/TG root folder. It's in the NewDark zip, Bullet DromEd, Tafferpatcher, Tfix, 7z or free download.

just did that, same problem... I will try re-dl 7z in case I have an older version
no... I d/loaded 7zip again, put all 3 7z.dll's in the root folder of Tgold but still FMselector finds them missing.

Please post thief.log. It's in the root folder.

this is the log:
: PID: 2952

: SIMD: SSE=3 , 3DNow=0 , MMX=1

but in the meanwhile I tried to make it run with NewDarkloader which didn't work. But maybe using the 7z.dll from that package did the job cause now that I opened the FMsel again the pop up about the 7zip libraries didn't ...ahem... pop up. :) So looks like I will be able to play all those missions we waited for a year now!
Thank you Unna! (again )

Did you install the game in a protected folder? Also Thief.exe is set in Win 98 compatibility. That won't work.

no, is not in progr.data folders, and is not in '98 compatibility. Is at users/my name/Thief and is in auto-detected compatibility ...and as far I can see, it works now ...I just loaded one of the 20ys anniversary missions :)

Whatever auto-detected compatibility means, NewDark shows it as Win 98 this time. You better set compatibility to your OS version (or Win 7, this will work for sure)

it means that I didn't manually changed the compatibility. But since you mentioned it, I changed it now to win 7. Although I can't see any differences from before and after, thanks for taking the time!
