My wallet was working fine, then suddenly it was not.
I get this message when I try to start darkcoin-qt.exe, normally, as administrator and in compatibility mode for Windows XP.
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."
Thanks, the constructive feedback is appreciated. However I missed the part where you gave constructive feedback. Would you like to kindly try again?
I'm simply trying to access the wallet, not setup a node. So I don't see why you're being a superior elitist.
Thanks in advance to any help!
Are you using XP or have your wallet running in xp compatibility mode? I'm a little confused by the question. I don't think the windows binary was compiled in 32bit. There might be a 32 bit version available, but I don't recall... it's getting a little old to use. However, honestly, Ubuntu is an easy to use 64bit system, if your computer can do 64 bit.... just an idea.
I don't know how to compile on windows, so I can't really help there, sorry

I'm using Win 7, 64 bit system. It was working fine at first, however after the problem arose I tried running the darkcoin-qt.exe in compatibility for XP among other attempts on solutions.
There should be no need to compile anything, I downloaded the wallet/qt-client from
here and I've tried both the 0.9.11.5 and 0.10.11.5 version.
Both yield the same error message :
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."
Ubuntu is incredibly easy, yes, no doubt. However this 'should' work just fine on Windows. Thanks for helping out.
