Obsidian Posted August 30, 2012 Apparently you need the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Distributable Package to run SLADE. I went to the website, followed all the prompts, but for some reason a fatal error occurs every time I try install it. Can someone help me out please? 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted August 30, 2012 Every time you try to install what? SLADE itself or the VC runtimes? (I'd guess the later since SLADE isn't distributed as an installer.) 0 Share this post Link to post
Aldaraia Posted August 30, 2012 If you have a 64-bit system, then that may be the problem, at least for me it was, I believe. Downloading one of the SVN versions may very well do the trick. 0 Share this post Link to post

I've just got Windows XP, so I dunno if it's 64-bit. I'll have a look at this SVN thing though. Thanks. :-) 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted August 31, 2012 Your copy of XP is most likely 32-bit but might be running on 64-bit hardware, like mine is. What error message is the installer displaying? 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted August 31, 2012 It just says "Fatal error during installation" and nothing else. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
Kappes Buur Posted August 31, 2012 Obsidian said:It just says "Fatal error during installation" and nothing else. :/ That certainly would point to the operating system, or possibly the hardware. Which version are you trying to install ? There really shouldn't be any problem with installing Slade3 on any computer running XP, Vista or 7. I have installed it successfully on a variety of computers. If you downloaded Slade3 from http://slade.mancubus.net/index.php?page=downloads then, as it mentions right there and has a link to it, you need to install the Visual C++ 2010 runtimes. If you downloaded Slade3 from http://svn.drdteam.org/slade/ then you need to install the Visual C++ 2005 runtimes since that is what Gez uses to compile the svn versions. [edit] And, as an extra measure, check if you have .NET Framework 3.5 or later installed. I believe Slade needs that as well. 0 Share this post Link to post
