propjohn Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Seems that the exe is dependent on the 32-bit 2010 vcredist. Was getting "The Program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing" when I ran the exe directly. After I downloaded and installed the 32-bit 2010 redist it started behaving. FWIW, I have a 2 week old 64-bit Win8.1 installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandrewk Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hello propjohn, is it possible that you somehow skipped the "First Time Setup" from steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propjohn Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hello propjohn, is it possible that you somehow skipped the "First Time Setup" from steam? Which "First Time Setup"? Steam or Leadwerks? The Steam client did "hang" during the initial update, but a reboot solved that. (Update reapplied itself). Leadwerks would just silently fail when launched via Steam. Launched directly it then popped the dialog complaining about MSVC100.dll. AFAICT, Leadwerks is shipped with the 2013 redist and that was installed. I specifically had to install the 2010 redist. This might be an artifact of Windows 8 or the fact that my Windows is 64bit. The frustrating thing is that it pretty much silently failed when lanched via Steam. Until I ran the app directly it had no clue what it was complaining about. (Maybe there's a log?) Regardless... I'm functional. I raised this issue just in case other users run into the same problem.

AggrorJorn Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It is a windows 8 thing. I think this has to be specified via Steam on the leadwerks account from the developer. Thanks for reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 That is very strange because we use VC 2013. My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propjohn Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 That is very strange because we use VC 2013. I noticed that. It's possible that one of the other libs like OpenAl or Steamworks required it. Maybe Dependency Walker (depends.exe) can shed some light on it.

Admin Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I ran Leadwerks on a brand new laptop and it had no issues. If anyone else has experienced this problem please speak up. Otherwise this is going to be considered closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
