You really should think of updating to windows 7 or 8.

XP is 12 year old and not even supported anymore by microsoft (or any recent hardware).

To give you an idea of the insane obsolescence of XP, using it now is like keeping windows 1.0 (1985) and/or MS-DOS 3.20 (not even 3.3 ) while everybody was on windows 98.

I know it's late but I can confirm this solves the problem. I just installed Windows XP on a computer that won't run Windows 7 for some unknown hardware issue and had exactly the same problem with FAF. After installing "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)" which puts msvcr90.dll somewhere in Windows\WinSxS folder (actually in some very long named folder in it) the problem was solved and FAF started smoothly.

Too bad Pilot is not around anymore cause I would like to thank him and also say that he should not underestimate the power of Windows XP .

So I found a workaround for my problem. I had installed FA previously from a disc, and updated to 3599 manually, and had the aforementioned problem with the FAF configuration. So I went and installed FA via Steam, uninstalled FAF, and reinstalled, and now it works. Maybe it has something to do with the specific folder FA is installed in?

Any chance I could get access to an older version of FAF to see if I can get it to even start on XP?

I'm not supporting XP, period.

Feel free to take the codebase and fix XP-related issue if you want to, I won't (and can't).

The difference between windows 1.00 and Windows 98 is far, far greater than the difference between XP and windows 7. Microsoft loves pumping out new OS because it is a new source of revenue to them, not necessarily because they have added that much new value to the new OS.

I'm not supporting XP because I don't have it, and microsoft will drop support completely soon too.

I recently reinstalled XP due to mysterious slowdown issues, and am running into the same issue. FAF was working previously, but after the OS reinstall it gave the error listed. I installed the VC redistributable and .net framework 4, but neither resolved the issue. I have no python installation.

Also, prior to this OS reinstall, the replay feature of FAF was not working. Clicking on replay links (even for my own replays on my disk) would lead to a crash (FA starts, black screen, hangs up and crashes). Interestingly, when I choose to "show replays in folder", and run the replay directly from the file and not FAF, it works fine. I know it is an XP issue because I also have a windows 7 computer which has no such issues.

I am trying to get FAF to run on my XP machine because occassionally the windows 7 machine is being used by others. Yes XP is old. But almost 20% of folks still run it. It would be nice to consider at least looking into some of the XP issues for the 1 in 5 users who don't run Vista, Windows 7 or 8.

I am thinking of upgrading, when I finally have the money to upgrade my pc which should be soon xD

However, right now I'm running on XP still, and my computer blowing up means I needed to reinstall it as my pc is needed for work and I don't have the time to wait for a new os to arrive

Cheers for the help, I guess I am just going to have to wait until I can upgrade before I can play any more FA, unless you have any other ideas...

There is not a lot of dependencies left in the client, I don't see what can be missing.
