DarkRadiant 1.5.0 pre-release sanity check

[Fidcal]

OK, but I can't even predict it myself to try to avoid it. It just seems to happen suddenly without warning. I hadn't realized it might show a selected entity in the entity list though.

I have installed the latest 32 bit version, but DR refuses to run with a MSVCR100.dll not found message. SinceI have installed the VC++ 2008 redistributable package on my PC, I have no idea what may be causing the crash.

 

I also have that message. I tried to install VC++ 2010, but it informed me that I already have a newer version installed on my computer. Any suggestions why that is so?

Sorry, I just replied to this thread I Googled. I have the latest 1.7.1 DR version and running a Windows 7 Home Premium.

Hmm, that dll rings a bell but I cant remember what the fix was.

 

1. remove the DR prefs frolder from c@\users\<your user name>\app data\roaming\ "DarkRadiant" and then see if DR fires up

2. if the above dosent work then remove all versions of VC++ from your system, reboot then reinstall only VC++2010 and see if DR fires up..

Yes I'm familliar with roaming because of the Minecraft, but didn't find DR there. I have a problem because I'm missing one .dll file I deleted from Windows folder, thinking it was the bug. Tried system repair, but it didn't replace the file. I can't install any Visual C++ programs because of it, for example Maya and so on. That's why I'd like to avoid uninstalling VC++.

I guess I'll just have to reinstall the whole OS.

[Bikerdude]

You dot have to reinstall the whole OS, have you tried replacing the file you deleted (you can just download it from the net) or failing that just doing a system restore!?

[Byrgius]

I've tried to do a system restore, including getting the file from another computer and putting it in the same folder. It didn't work. I've checked many forums for the answer but noone had the same problem. But over time I forgot how the file was called.

[Bikerdude]

Hmm, well then if youv'e deleted a "windows system file" and forgotten what its called and system restore wont work then yes reinstall of windows is in order.

 

The moral of the day "dont go deleting windows system files.."
