What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
There are actually two issues. One any games that weren't compressed with dolphin(gcz) won't list in the game list and two when I try to open the game manually via Open-> Selecting the game will produce the error below. Compressing produces a different error which I'll go into at the bottom of this post.
Warning¶
The specified file "G:\Emulation\wii\The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword.ciso" does not exist¶
OK¶
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Just scanning for games and trying to open any non-gcz files, mostly (maybe all?) ciso.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?
This issue started to occur with the Visual Studio 2015 update ( 4.0-7538 ) .
Using the previous version ( 4.0-7528 ) and the issue goes away.
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
4690k @ 4.6 GHZ
GTX 770 4 GB
8 GB Memory
Windows 7 64 bit Service Pack 1
Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
I DO have service pack 1 and I have downloaded the 64-bit Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 suggested on the download page. It still produces this issue, and I have restarted just in-case. Compressing the files did NOT solve the issue of the list and caused it to produce a different error when trying to open the file, even though it appeared to compress just fine. I had to compress it with version 4.0-7528 if that's at all relevant. Error Below.
Warning¶
"G:\The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword.gcz" is an invalid GCM/ISO file, or is not a GC/Wii ISO.¶
OK¶

- Subject changed from [Short description of your bug here (~10 words)] to Compressed files do not show up in the Game List or raise an error as not found/invalid
Can you try the latest build available from https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ (4.0-8038 as of time of writing) and see if the issue is still around? It sounds like something that we recently fixed, but I can't find the related report atm.

This IS with the latest build(4-0-8038). I had just tracked it back to that to find when the issue started to occur, and found out it started with ( 4.0-7538 ). I should of made that a little more clear I suppose.

I want to point out that the problem compression and running the compressed(gcz files, compressed from ciso) file seem to extend before 4.0-7538. I tried running the game first with 4.0-7528 as it's original ciso file and it worked fine, I then compressed it with 4.0-7528 and then tried running it with 4.0-7528. The game would produce the the invalid error listed in the original report. I'll see if I can find where this issue starts at sometime a bit later.

- Milestone set to Current
I've heard a few scattered reports about this, and it's a serious issue for those it affects, so this issue is getting tagged with Milestone Current. I have no idea why it happens, though.

Do we have any report of this for files other than CISO? If not, that likely indicates some issue with our CISO parsing library. Run it under valgrind?
Updated by JosJuice over 8 years ago
While I haven't specifically checked the file types of everyone who has reported this issue, I don't think they all were CISO. (They're scattered in various forum topics that I don't have a list of, so it would take some time to check if any of them include the file type.) Besides, I don't think it could be a problem with the CISO code, because the "The specified file does not exist" error is triggered here: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/342496563dc2fd129c6ab3831b181eb0875f46d0/Source/Core/Core/ConfigManager.cpp#L688
...whereas the boot process doesn't trigger the volume (possibly CISO) code until here: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/342496563dc2fd129c6ab3831b181eb0875f46d0/Source/Core/Core/ConfigManager.cpp#L702
The problem with GCZ files that is mentioned in this issue report is not something that I have seen anyone else report, only the "The specified file does not exist" error.

Does this PR resolve the issue?
Updated by Fog about 8 years ago
I've been trying to reproduce the issue, and I'm just not able to do it. If we can't get a solid way reproduce it, this might get left out for 5.0
Updated by JMC4789 about 8 years ago
I haven't been able to reproduce this issue on my giant list of games. I have seen other people run into this on smashladder, though.
Updated by mimimi about 8 years ago
May i suggest to wait until the next patch day? That should be today/tomorrow. Somebody should check if there's an update for that .dll file with the latest windows updates. If so, ask people with the propblem to use the windows update and test again.

Can we confirm if this is still an issue?
I just tried with 4.0-9217 and still have the issue. Same exact specs/info as before(except more memory).

Windows update generally is a pain in my ass so I haven't updated anything in awhile. I'll try updating when it stops taking a life time to check for updates. Are there any specific updates I should make sure I grab, that may solve this problem?

Windows Update KB3118401 fixed this issue for me. Support page for it if anyone cares https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3118401 .

Nice. Something like that was exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you for finding the exact update that fixes this – it can probably be useful if someone asks about this problem on the forums in the future.
Because the bug is in Windows's runtime, not Dolphin itself, I'll mark this issue report as invalid instead of fixed. That doesn't mean that this isn't a valid problem, it just means that it isn't something that we're supposed to be fixing.
