Re: ANN: [OPAL] | SuperNET | MOBILE MESSAGING | OPAL DRIVE

Do you get the runtime error right after starting opalqt? Are you on Win8?

I get the runtime error minutes after opening opal-qt. I am on windows 7.

Hi,

The Visual C ++ runtime serves applications that were compiled to work with a library version.
And 64-bit machines need to install the 32-bit runtime to run applications compiled in 32-bit.
So, it will be a good idea to keep old versions, and even if you have a 64-bit cpu, First of all for Windows users, especially windows 8 users :

So, it will be a good idea to keep old versions, and even if you have a 64-bit cpu, the C++ x86 (32-bit version) should be usefull

These versions must be installed manually:
C++ 2012 (x86 and x64) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
C++ 2010 (x86) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
C++ 2010 (x64) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632

if you still encounter runtime error after that,

-Close your Opal wallet.
-Go to C:\Users\YourUsername\Appdata\Roaming\Opalcoin
-Save your wallet.dat & your opalcoin.conf files in another folder.
-Delete all the other folders & files located in the Opalcoin Folder except wallet.dat & opalcoin.conf
-Restart your wallet, let it sync, it should be good.

*if you can't see Appdata: click "Organize▼" (upper left) then click "Show Folders and Search Option" click view and Check "Show hidden files, folders, and drives", and then click OK
for Windows 8 From the Control Panel, type Folder Options in the search box: click "Folder Options", click "View" then Check "Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then click OK

My OS is Windows 7 professional

I downloaded and launched (for 1st time) the Opal wallet (1.3.1) . All ok and started synching and then the following message appeared

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Opal-Qt.exe has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

My version of Windows 7 includes the following pre-installed:

microsoft visual C++ 2008 Redistributable x64 9.0.3
microsoft visual C++ 2008 Redistributable x86 9.0.2
microsoft visual C++ 2008 Redistributable x86 9.0.3
microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable 10.00
microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable 10.0

So, as I understand it, the only program I need to add manually is:

C++ 2012 (x86 and x64) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

which comprises 3 files

http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/B/16B06F60-3B20-4FF2-B699-5E9B7962F9AE/VSU_4/vcredist_x64.exe
http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/B/16B06F60-3B20-4FF2-B699-5E9B7962F9AE/VSU_4/vcredist_x86.exe

and

http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/B/16B06F60-3B20-4FF2-B699-5E9B7962F9AE/VSU4/vcredist_arm.exe

The 1st 2 download ok but in respect of the 3rd one (/vcredist_arm.exe) I got the following message:

vcredist_arm.exe is a not a valid Win32 application

So I can't run it. Huh

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
