Title: Can not start GlBasic
Post by: Stu_C on 2009-Nov-18

"application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect...."

last time I saw that was todo with the "vcredist_x86.exe" having to be updated.

ive uninstalled, installed, cleaned the registry - still not working...

with which version you're working?
perhaps its worth to download the newest version and install again.

The latest download has the redist in it, or the redist mentioned in the bugs report will do

Ive downloaded the most recent - Ive even deleted all the registry keys ( so should be running as the demo version )

The redist has been installed (several times)

It's strange, because the current setup works on XP SP3.

Hi, Gernot

How about statically linking MSVCRT with the EXE to prevent similar issues?
Only a few changes required in compiler setting...

That gives problems with multilang common dialogs then. It's a true shame that MS changed the MFC dlls to a SxS version. Total shit.

Anyway to make it use private assemblies?

However I can't make it work, I think I might miss some steps etc.
