XXHighEnd

Can't be startet in Model 0.8

Error code: The application has failed to start because ist side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more details.

The engine 2 is ok and fully functional.

Ok, so this is the same as the last time I could try it.

I know what this means, but hoped it wouldn't be there anymore.  :(

Btw, this is about a phenomenon I didn't know of before, and which keeps track of all consistent software versions. It (I now know) exists on XP just the same, but I never heard of it overthere. And oh, it makes your disk get full by many many gigabytes by full automation.  :)

Let's get Google ...

I get the same error when I want to start XXHighEnd#3 directly from within the directory, selecting it from within XX (I thought that would be the way to choose between 1, 2 and 3?) then I do not get any error. It doesn't play though...only #1 and #2 are playing tracks.

Bert

Hmm ... Starting it from XX is the way to do it ...
(starting it directly is not possible, but should NOT give that error anyway -> it should just do nothing then).

If that's the solution ... yeah, I have that.

But this obviously should not necessary for you out there (so do NOT download that, evenif you're developing software -> away goes the testcase !).

Uhoohh

I could download it and install it on my Laptop just to see if XX#3 then works, I will then have at least 2 different Vista versions running trying to find the needed files to make it work on the other PC.

Or you should compile the needed files within XX or add an install.exe so that we only have the needed files at the proper place...

Bert

No Bert, this would be stupid. It must be solved anyway.
If needed, I'll even find the components needed from Visual Studio.

Thanks.

Hi Peter
Just to confirm exactly the same as Bert on my machine
Jack

Ok. First attempt at solving this.
Note I'm trying this as lean as possible, so maybe it needs more attempts.

Thanks again !

DO NOTE that the DLLs contained in the zip below should *NOT* be copied to the Windows directory, nor should they be registered.
This implies that XXHighEnd should not be installed in the Windows directory (or subdirectory therefrom). But you wouldn't do that anyway, would you ?  :nea:

Edit : Removed the zip (which was useless afterall).

Error code is gone but there is no sound. Nothing else to report. Engine 2 is ok.

TorH

Thanks ...

Can you verify by Taskmanager that XXEngine3.exe is running after you pressed Play (for a track) in XXHighEnd ?

Btw, do NOT use tracks with  diacretical marks ! ... because then you wouldn't have sound indeed (in the current version).

No it is not started.

And do you have both these checkboxes ticked for your sounddevice ?
(I didn't mention that before ...)

(and is that device your Primary Device ?)

Also I'd like to know this :

One of the files in the latest zip is this one : XXEngine3.exe.intermediate.manifest
If you delete that (but keep it somewhere else) ... does that change anything ?

Thanks again.
Peter

Nothing changed here, "same" SideBySide error...the logbook shows a different error in the detailed report though.

Same error message too when I directly want to open XX#3.exe

Best would be if you would pickup my Laptop and see for yourself what is changing instead of me making screendumps over and over again...

Bert

Thank you Bert.

I realized that we have an unused Vista laptop at work, so I'll bring that home tonight.
I should be self-supporting then ...  :)

Yeah ... but not all that long when you deliberately leave the power cord behind because you have enough at home ... which I don't because it's a special one as it turns out now ...  :fool:

So I'm kind of running against the clock with a draining battery ...
... I got rid of the error message, but no sound yet.

I guess it will be tomorrow night the earliest. :sorry:
