Error message when starting game via Steam

[DrMattLamb]

I have transferred Advanced Tactics to a new laptop using Steam and it worked perfectly on my old one but I now get the following error- I realise I can play by changing it to the legacy version (that works) but I want to play it as the up to date version- any ideas?

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I believe Erich has responded, on Steam. But basically what he is saying is that a dll file is missing from your directory, and he is unsure why. He is asking for more details as well, how you transferred the install, for instance.

Got it working using Vic's suggestion so all good now.

Sorry,

This is a bit of a puzzle to me as well. I just went over the dependencies of irrklang again.

And it actually seems it needs the VC redistributables for x86 (32 bit systems).

Could you still give that one last try?:

(pick the x86 one)

or in case that doesn't work... this one:

let me know...

sorry for the hassle. if this doesn't work i am a bit at a loss.

best wishes,
Vic

Great! Glad it worked

The links in the above, however, are incomplete... so you cannot use them from here... Maybe you could correct them?
