Well, I instakled a long awaited 2.0 update on my "gaming" XP machine
, and it CS does not start at all now. Of course I ignored a warning message that XP is not supported (i.e. as per FAQ section advice). Hmmm ... Anyone had a similar problem on XP? Any ideas on what I could have missed?

I too couldn't run the game on XP ("The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect." -- aka the "side-by-side" error) until I installed the
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package. (Make sure you get the right version for your system architecture, 32 vs. 64 bit.)
Maybe that's the issue here?

Mine on XP works just fine, hopefully Berto's suggestion will help?

I received the same error while trying to update, using the update button on the menu. But, Then I went to the FTP link and downloaded the update. Installed it and everything runs fine on my XP machine.

Installing VC++ package has done the job for me as well. Thanks[8D]
