Title: windowEdit/ stringtableMGR fail to initalise
Post by: massey on September 19, 2009, 01:22:46 AM

hi, i'm new to wintermute and just downloaded 1.8.011 a few days ago (wed 16th sept).
everything else seems to work ok, but windowEdit and StringTableManager won't launch.
i get "The application failed to initialize properly(0xc000007b).

i saw the updated "vredist_x86", it made no difference. from what i saw in that post this fix should already be applied to the wintermute version i downloaded.

any advice would be great. looks like a very exciting program.

Do you have .NET Framework 2.0 installed on your machine (here's how to check (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318785))?
If you do, your .NET installation could be corrupted. In that case you may need to uninstall and reinstall it. After uninstalling it is wise to run this cleanup utility (http://cid-27e6a35d1a492af7.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Blog_Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip?wa=wsignin1.0&sa=17797669#resId/27E6A35D1A492AF7!495).

from my searching outside wintermute related stuff it seems i may have a viral problem, so its a .net problem. beyond your control. hopefully i can get it solved. thanks for your help.
