Sorry I built it using VC8 since that's all my virtual machine has installed.
I wanted to let people test the collision fixes we put in.

Do you remember how we were able to solve this before? can you try deleting the vegastrike.exe.manifest file?

Will do and post the result as an edit to this post.

EDIT: moving the manifest out of the way results in the error that CtV mentioned R6034

same problem here...

"An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly"...

Deleting the manifest was apparently the wrong thing to do. Do a SVN Update and it should come back.

This was a VC8 binary and for the past month (or two) there has been a VC7 version in subversion--make sure you have run the "VC8 Runtime Libraries Installer" which is included in the "bin" folder.

There is definately something wrong with the vegastrike.exe. I installed the VCredist from the bin-dir, which was 2005SP1, that i already had installed before. So i tried VCredist2008 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/than ... layLang=de. Nothing worked. always getting a runtime-error at starup.

[Edit]
okay... since i made the .manifest executeable it works...

which version of Windows are you running? With XP pro it's no problem... just try the "security"-tab(? don't know how it is exactly titled in the english version) . With XP home the rights management is not visible... blame M$..
But you can upgrade the rightsmanagement with "FaJo XP FSE" (search google to find a download-location) which makes the home-edition look and behave like the pro-version. alternatively you can use the command-prompt-tool chmod which is a *nix port.

"chmod a +x vegastrike.exe.manifest" should do the trick..

I have committed a new VC7 executable, so things should work again
