Latest CVS doesn´t work

[Major]

I got Win2K SP3 and just downloaded latest CVS today. First nothing happened wheni started setup.exe. Then i started vegastrike.exe, i saw the splash screen and some files were been loaded and when the game should have started i found myself back on the desktop with an error message "abnormal program termination"
I used the 030822 .exe and the one from the bin directory. On both VS crashed.

Try to delete/rename the openal32.dll in your ./bin directory.

See this post:

That is a new function added in a recent exe file. Are you sure that you are using the correct exe file?

[hellcatv]

download the patch
delete openal32.dll from the bin directory

at worst download vegastrike-0.4.1.exe
that may fix your probs

make sure to install to a differnet dir than the pre-release
