Can not start GlBasic

[Stu_C]

hmmmm glbasic has stopped loading with the

"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...

Any ideas ?

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

[MrTAToad]

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

[Stu_C]

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)

[MrTAToad]

And you've tried http://www.glbasic.com/files/vcredist_x86.exe ?

oh dear. What OS is that? Did you do some windos update from MS that broke it?

Windows XP, - no I have my updates turned off.......

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

[Stu_C]

Still the same error. Dammm stupid computers....

Can you try this on the Editor_e.exe, please?

Hi, Gernot

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

[Kitty Hello]

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.

Are you using the 64-bit version of XP ?
