"Application Configuration Incorrect"

[MajorPluksat]

Hi

My computer done screwed up, so I have recently reinstalled XP and am in the process or reinstalling all my programs etc. I have been trying to get FAF to work however have run into a brick wall of this error

"J:\Program Files\SupCom\Forged Alliance Forever\FAForever.exe
This Application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem"

Naturally, reinstalling did not help, so I'm here. I believe all my drivers are now installed properly and updated, and I have ensured I have the correct visual c++ package installed. I've looked for logs, but I cannot find them

Any ideas on how to fix this would be much appreciated

Cheers
Major

as far as i read windows XP is not supported

it may work, it may not work

I realise that, however I have never encountered trouble running the client on two previous xP installs, so I was wondering if anyone could help. I'm out atm, when I get back ill look again for logs

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

[MajorPluskat]

That was kind of my thought, I thought all it needed was visually c++....

[MajorPluskat]

Do you have a list of dependencies or know where I can find them zep?

[Ze_PilOt]

Except the C++ runtime library (msvcr90.dll), I don't see any.

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 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...

Try installing all the VC redistributable and NET framework you can find

Also, if you have a python installation, a module can conflict with FAF.

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.
