this one again?

does it help installing the visual c++ 2010 runtime?

3

sadly no… no text …

4

hhhm i installed slimdx feb 2010 ‘by hand’ and now it vvvvorks…

5

how did you unpack vvvv? with 7zip?

6

FYI:
unpacking of course was done using 7zip.

it’s my “already unpacked” folder located on our company’s file server,
which i tend to copy onto each temporary machine,
do the common procedure (dotnet4, ~blub, ~bla ),
run crack.exe,…

for sure you know what i mean.

did that procedure previously on some machines without problems.

only difference on this “old” machine:

i installed everything,
ran crack.exe,
ooops, indeed DirectX 9.0c was missing (i didn’t expect that)
so DirectX has been the last item to be installed.

?!?

however; no problem for me anymore.

ai kalle, not sure now if i follow correctly:

  • it started to work for you after you installed slimdx manually
  • but only after that you found out that dx9c was missing?
8

for joreg

i installed in this sequence:

*dotnet4
*vcredist_x86.exe
crack.exe -> ooops, no directX on that machine
*directx 9.0c
crack.exe -> all green ; vvvv not starting up ; see logstartup

then i installed slimdx feb 2010

now all is fine :)

hmkay…then let us just classify this as “odd” and go on…
