Can't start with parallels

Hi folks,

i hope i am right here.
I installed parallels at my mac. after that i downloaded vvvv and started the crack. all 4 boxes are green.
after that i tried to startup vvvv. But there just the logo was shown. After that i closed vvvv because nothing happened.
Then an Application Error appears:

Exception EAccessViolation in module vvvv.exe.at 00004C17,
Access violation at address 00404C17 in module “vvvv.exe”. Read of address 00000000.

Can anyone help?

thx!

please start vvvv from the commandline using with:
vvvv.exe /logstartup

this will create a log file next to the .exe which you could post here…

hey guy,

thanks for your answer, but i didn´t check it.
Do you have any other solutions?
cheers

it is no solution to ask for another solution.
instead try to understand what i asked you to do:

you need to open a command line. on windows you do this by:

  • pressing the “Start” button (bottom left)
  • typing: cmd
  • pressing enter

this will open a commandline.
there you navigate to the directory you copied vvvv to. you navigate to it by typing something like:
cd vvvv45beta28.1

when in the directory that vvvv.exe is in you can run the command i mentioned above. then you get the .log file which you can attach here which in turn may lead us to a solution to your problem.

Hi there,

thx for your help, but i didn´t get a logfile, instead of this vvvv starts but nothing happened

Log seems to be the last document: bottom, far right…

you are right,

i hope this is useful.

hmkay, thats odd, please try installing slimdx. usually this isn’t necessary, but we had rare cases where this helped.

i have tried but this doesn´t make any changes…:(
i will try to reinstall and will try it with bootcamp…

thank you guys.

Hi there,

i do have the same probleme, any solutions or suggestions how this can be solved?

thx!

Same here, installed slimdx, all lights are green, but still the last message on the log file is “Could not load file or assembly ‘SlimDX.dll’ or one of its dependencies”. Reinstalled everything, unziped correctly on different paths but still nothing. I have xp on parallels, and trying to open version 45beta28.1 of vvvv. It’s a clean install, so nothing else is there. Maybe I need to run upgrades, or install the directx sdk?

thanks!

hmpf. does installing vc++ 2008 sp1 help?

hi elias,
YES vc++ 2008 sp1 solved my instance of this problem :)

Worked for me, too! Thanks elias for this!
