I uninstalled my old version (0.9.8pre4), and also deleted my "doc and sett,owner,app data" darkradiant folder so I would get a full fresh start with the new version

 

I installed 0.9.12, but when I try to start it I get this error:

"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

 

I don't see a new darkradiant folder within app data yet, but I assume it hasn't had the change to get created yet.

 

any ideas?

 

(a computer restart didn't help. Have actually tried reinstalling like the error message suggests, but I doubt that would help)

 

NEVER MIND! I really thought I had done the VC++ 2008 Redistributable deal months back, but maybe that was on my other PC or an older version or something. Anyway, with that installed, DR opens. but... it looks wacked! The main windows are see through and just keep leftovers in them...

EDIT - now it's fine! I found jdude seemed to have a similar problem and I tried what he said to check the box "Start on Primary Monitor" and it works fine now. I even went back and unchecked that (because I usually want to start on my secondary monitor!) and it still works fine. Maybe that didn't really have anything to do with it, not sure, but at least it's fine now.

 

Suggested small feature - a check next to the current layout when looking at the "View - Window Layout" selection options

Hey guys, I'm getting the same error with the editor.

 

Could you walk me through each step of the process you're describing above or link me?

 

Thanks in advance.

Ok then! It's working now. Thanks anyway! And while I'm at it, thanks for such a great tool! (And game) I'm familiar with Radiant, so I should be able to make something cool soon!

It's actually pretty simple, just click on the link in the top post called "VC++ 2008 Redistributable Package", then on the page click the "download" button, save the file to your computer (like on the desktop), then run it to install the necessary stuff, then restart Dark Radiant.

After updating, I seem to get an "application has encountered an error and must close" error every time I shut DR down. Doesn't seem to cause any problems though.

Hmm, mine's fine (XP, SP3), haven't heard anyone else mention this
