tried the 32bit alpha now: crashes just like the beta. crack.exe gives me all greens though.
i downloaded the x64 version in the first place because i’m on a 64bit machine. don’t know if that might have anything to do with the crashes?
it just happened that left the version 28.1 beta … I usually format the cpu when comes a new version … after all updates, upgrades made ran the crack … beauty who not only ran the vvvv for the first time … installed a pack with 10 dingbats … vvvv.exe froze when I ran the … installed and uninstalled anything … then installed on another notbook with system fonts only worked … uninstalled font pack the other cpu work on time … most do not know your case … downloaded dafont.com…
I uninstalled all dingbats fonts I had - didn’t solve it. Though I have hundreds of fonts from Adobe and others and I won’t go through all of them. Guess I’ll give up on vvvv now, as in the meantime I started using PD and Processing, which both work fine without any problems.
for those who also don’t get vvvv to work: try PD for professional audio programming and Processing for multimedia stuff!
To all those who tried to help: Thanks for your patience.
@sternmull in case you’re still reading:
thanks for your patience but still your reports are a bit confusing.
we’d really like to get this sorted, but would need more specific informations from your tests.
so we understand that you tried beta28.1 and it freezes. ok.
it seems that when you renamed the \freeframes directory of beta28.1 it was able to start. can you confirm this?
then you said you downloaded the latest 64bit alpha where crack was reporting wrongly missing VC++2008 runtimes but it still worked for you. can you confirm this?
if that worked, then why give up? thats most likely what you want.
but still:
then you said you downloaded the latest 32bit alpha and it crashed again!? this we cannot believe. please do us a favour get the latest 32bit alpha again, try and report your finding on this.
thanks in advance…
I have the similar (freeze after splash screen) problem…

win7 64bit, vvvv 45beta29, all boxes are green
same error in 45beta28
have you unzipped the file with 7zip? it might be a problem with file rights. also check your .NET installtion.
ok, second chance
no, there is no problem with rights
maybe problem in .NET 4.5 ?
as far I know, it replace 4.0 version, didn’t?
still: have you unzipped using 7zip? (the rights-problem is not user-visible and only expresses in errors like the one you posted). so make sure you try that.
here is someone with the same error as yours who claimed that a redownload helped: https://discourse.vvvv.org/t/8695
WOW! unzipped using 7zip and it works!
What kind of rights you talking about? I tried to manually add the “Full Access” for “All” (include sub elements) and it did not work…
very strange…maybe then it’s better to use the 7z archive instead of zip
i have the same problem as sternmull… after i installed pure-data extended (pd-extended 0.43), vvvv doesn’t start anymore. bevor that it worked great…and it is working when i rename the freeframes folder…
has anybody an idea?
qoooh, very strange, but please try with latest alpha. run crack.exe from there again and you probably have to install some more dependencies. hope that helps.
Thanks joreg! i’m on windows 7 x64 by the way…i tried the alpha builds 32bit and 64bit - 32bit still crashes, the 64 bit alpha version opens but crashes when i want to create an object…
but i figured out, that the 64bit beta version is working (i haven’t tried it before, sorry).
but still it seems that you can’t use the freeframes nodes in vvvv after installing pd.
indeed, there was a problem caused by the pd-installer, see: https://discourse.vvvv.org/
if you have a similar problem please test with latest alpha and if the problem persists for you start a new thread with your details.
It’s taken me ages to get this working.
The Freeframe folder typo was the cause too.
I have a feeling Vvvv may need to change this. I downloaded a new copy of Vvvv just now and the folder comes named as “Freeframes”.
@Modified: this is not a typo! renaming the directory is only a workaround to not get the freeframe plugins loaded which seems to cause troubles in rare cases. do you have pd installed via their installer?
@joreg
I do have pd installed via the installer. Would it be better if I didn’t?
I’ve moved over to Max now so PD isn’t as valuable for me.
hmkay…was hoping that was fixed. but apparently it was not. so would be interesting to hear if vvvv works for you after you used the pd-uninstaller (not just remove it!). then you can still use pd’s .zip-installation as an alternative…
Hey.
I ran the PD uninstaller and totally removed it.
I changed the Freeframe folder back to Freeframes and Vvvv worked.
Just to be extra sure and do a thorough test I downloaded both PD.exe and PD.zip.
Ran exe version and once again, no joy when loading Vvvv (didn’t rechange the Freeframes folder).
Once again uninstalled PD.exe and reused the PD.zip.
As you suggested both PD & V4 worked. So it does seem to be an issue with PD.exe and Freeframes.
This is very strange though as I’ve only had this problem on 1 laptop. My previous laptop and my current desktop are both pd exe installers with Vvvv 32bit and they work fine.
k, good to hear. still odd since we had a fix for that specific problem in place already. seems i’ll have to revisit that…
