RetroFE 0.8.0

[bodbod]

Hi Mark,

It is mentioned in the download section that for the new release, you need to :

Note: Windows users will require a recent version of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio.

This should fix your issue normally - Have a look there and read the bottom part, you ll find the relevant link :

Actually this issue is caused by running the exe from the wrong place. Try launching with the shortcut in the root folder.

Cheers, that has fixed that issue, but saying that I have another dll file missing as well. I shall have a look more later when I have woken up a bit more.

As for the other guy, I tried it in and out of the core directory, but none would work.

Which dll might that be then?

This is exactly what happens when the exe is ran from outside of the core directory or the supplied shortcut isn't used. The error messages basically cycle through the dlls in the core directory.

I just tried the supplied link but that brings up same dll message

msvcp140.dll is missing.

I downloaded the visual studio from the previous comment, but again that has done nothing.

Ok, now youre getting somewhere as this dll is a from a framework. The others you mentioned are RetroFE dlls hence why I knew the problem.

msvcp140.dll is from the visual c++ framework. Try this one...

Yeah I had downloaded that previously with no effect. I am downloading the x86 one as well and will install that even though I am on a 64 bit system

[Mark Norville]

The 32 bit version 86 one actually worked, and yet the 64 bit version did not work.

I am not sure if it is because I am downloading and transferring files, but when I loaded retrofe, it froze on the main screen for a while with no input, I had to ctl alt and delete to try shutting it down, but then it started working.

I just tried it again using a shortcut I had made, and that was faster than using the lnk file.

[tonesmalone]

Yep that's exactly by design. RetroFE is a 32 bit app - hence why the x86 c++ framework is needed.

Not bad for the other guy.

Sorry other guy, but I was still half asleep only on my second can of beer, two more, then a cup of coffee and I am good for the day

You will have to install both versions if you are on 64bit system
