build 193 doesn't work for me

[Petoe]

I have downloaded the newest build 193 and extracted all the files to a smae folder as usual, but when I try to open Zquest, I get an error message saying something like
"A part of zquest-w.exe is missing.
Couldn't find MSVCR71.dll"

I tried opening build 192 but I get the same error. Build 142 worked fine on my computer. Any help would be appreciated as I want to test and help ZC becoming more stable. ;)

there you go, just copy it into your C:\WINDOWS\system32\ folder. (its the dll file your missing)

Still, it shouldn't be requiring that file at all. We'll look into it.

That's the C runtime library, and should come pre-installed on your system. I've added it to the Windows alpha build, so downloading build 198 should fix the problem in any case.

Evidently DarkDragon uses a microsoft compiler.

Thanks for adding that runtime library MSVCR...

...but aw crap, now something similiar, called "MSVCP71.dll" is missing. >_<

Does my computer really suck this much? This stuff should apparently come pre-installed in my system, but why didn't earlier versions of ZC require these files? And I wonder how many of these damn files are required to run ZC... :p


edit - ok, I found the other dll file from DLL-Files.com and I got ZC working. But I still wonder why suddenly ZC started requiring these files.

[Dark Nation]

Usually, ZC is compiled with GCC, which doesn't require these libraries. Compiling with MSVC makes it require them.

[DarkDragon]

Try the latest build.

would this be helpful for tho's testing version prior to build 184?

Hmm, ZC using MSVC...

*smells trouble, more specifically, MSVC related bugs afoot...*
