Trying to build your own version of Vega Strike and having problems? Unix users, paste your config.log here (stderr output alone is not helpful).

Win Xp - Data4 - Almost Worked - I think I'm hosed now....

Post by jasonpsage »

Hello again,

Running the SVN bin directory - With .Net 2 frame work - ALMOST WORKED! No Compile necessary! Woo Hoo - I was so excited - until the main form froze during loading - the music stopped. I was forced to end the task (tried a few times with fingers crossed...) And then I had to shut down two instances of soundserver.exe.

So I "refresh" or more prrecisely - Tortoise "Update" (2007-04-11) the data4 directory and the music directory. There were some changes. I was hopeful - run vegastrike.exe (and the launcher and config) Both times - Different Issue. I got a windows dialog that said "The application has tried to invoke the C++ lib incorrectly. Contact your software vendor"

Then I figure PERHAPS - (guessing) I need .Net Version 3 Framework maybe. I installed that - same error.

Am I all done? Stuck on 0.4.3? Any suggestions?

I'm sorry to ask for a hand hold... I'm just looking forward to the latest is all.

I did read somewhere that time compression is now depreciated? That worries me... burt that is another post.

Thanx in advance!

I think that you need vegastrike.exec.manifest i have added it as an attachment to this post as for the reasons for this http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forum ... php?t=8467

Time Compression is not gone same as always it can cause a crash if used aggressively :wink:

what to do with the manifest remove the txt extension and drop it into the bin folder

Enjoy the Choice :)

--My Edit---

I'm in Cephid dock! Looks like I'm off to a good start.

NOTE: I saw your link about the discussion on the manefest thing... I'm a developer - BTW - and I have been using linux or platform independant stuff like FreePascal because I hate the Microsoft Gloat - and believe in portable binary versus portable script for performance etc.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE how bad microsoft is getting with their oprganization of code etc. I saw an article on how they are trying to woo developers.

I hear Vista is not all that - (big surprise) - I really like Linux more and more - and kudos to Macintosh tfor at least adopting a real OS framework more or less.
ugh

Thank for the Help Loki - this did the trick! (This means you can't even have a regular EXE file anymore - and that the only way anything will be EXE for real - Sooner or later on microsoft - is if its written to compile to their secret "pcode" or whatever layer is under (vc++, vb.net, c#..etc) ugh.

Jason P Sage... Time to play!
