Hi Bitmonster,

Your most recent official release solved the discussed problem. Thanks for your good work.

Ruud

try to install some old releases like 0.3.1 or even older.

Yes, 0.3.1 works in all XP installations. Thanks for your help.

The weird thing, as I said earlier, is that after some random installs of other software the most recent EG sometimes start to work. Huh??

I'm sorry, but I'm still not able to get things working properly.

I did some tests with clean XP installs. In all installations EG didn't work. However, in some installations EG started working after some random installs of other apps. So it appears, something important was changed by these random ...

I know Process Explorer. Great tool, I use it all the time. No running instance of MSVCR71.DLL.

So probably WinXP itself is corrupted in a very peculiar way. I will reinstall Windows on my HTPC and will very likely find that EG works perfect. As it does on my other PC.

Thanks for all your work.

Pro.

Another test you can try:
Place another copy of the DLL inside the "lib" directory of EG.

Nope, didn't work either.

I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem very much. I prefer EG over Girder, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

First of all, the new build unfortunately didn't solve the problem.

I looked for the various versions of the dll installed. In the non-working environment there are two with the latest build. In the EG folder there is v7.10.3025.4 and in a MS Office 2003 folder there is an older version v7.10.2179 ...

Thanks for the new build. Unfortunately it didn't work. Still the missing dll popup.

Amazing situation. Two quite similar WinXP installations and on one EG works great and on the other one not at all. And unfortunately, the one I use for my HTPC is the invalid one.

Same problem here, EG reports a missing MSVCR71.DLL. Both v03.3 and v0.3.4 build 843 report this problem.
