I just installed version 0.6.1 x64 on Windows 10 and got the attached error message when running the program.

Capture

Thank you for reporting this. You could try the following things:

Make sure all Windows updates are installed, especially if your system is a fresh install
Try installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 in case it isn't already installed.

Let me know if any of that helped.

Thanks. I installed vc_redist.x64.exe per your link and now it works. Does the installer currently check for this being installed?

stfnp commented 5 years ago

The installer previously did that. But I somehow got the impression that this C++ runtime stuff is now part of Windows and doesn't have to be installed separately anymore (Universal C Runtime). Seems like I was wrong, even though it seemed to work on my machine.

The next version of VirtualBow is built with MinGW instead of Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler. So we don't need the Microsoft C++ runtime anymore, which also solves this issue.
