Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: Install and Launch Error
« on: March 02, 2012, 03:05:08 pm »
Too many people to quote properly, sorry.

@Aiwendil - I'm going to try installing the package. And see if that works.
EDIT: I don't have the proper service pack to support Microsoft Visual 2010. That was the problem.

@bilbous - Aye. I even got the proper dll files and placed them in the proper folders to see if that would work. But the game told me that my copies of the files did not match those of the disk image. (I knew what it meant, so I removed them.)

@LigH - My laptop isn't that powerful, so it runs Windows XP. So I'll download only the x86 version. I wonder if that's going to be a problem.

@Rigwyn - Depends on the type of Windows you buy. I have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. In Service pack 3 For XP Pro, Microsoft Visual and Netframe work 3.5 are included. (They're also included in the Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 7 Ultimate packages.)

I suspect it had to do with Planeshfit trying to install Microsoft C++ 2010 after the game installed itself.
"trying"?  It should succeed in it. And PS doesn't install the whole MSVC only the Redistributable package. Do you get any error messages when it gets installed? The missing DLL is part of that package so if that install fails PS will have a problem.

On a personal note: I've been trying to play this game for so long, and something has always impeded me. Whether it be no internet, or just a bad computer. Now that I have a good laptop and a good wireless network, something like this happens.. And I'm really upset.
Just -my- personal opinion...but if you get easily upset then PS might be not the right game for you. Still hopeing you get it to work and can try it out though.


Yeah, I got the error message when the game was just about to finish installing. It said that it exited on an error code, and something about prompting a restart. I should have cap'd it.

Also, I don't get mad easily. It just seems that whatever I do, things are keeping me from playing this game. I've been trying for literally over five or six years... My Family doesn't have a lot of money, so we could never afford to buy me a computer. I had to build all my old computers from scrap, and I had them for years at a time. They could never play any demanding video games.

But now that I have a nice laptop of my own (Which is still very old, and not very powerful.. Though it handles lotro on the lowest settings..) I thought perhaps I could finally give this game a try.

I just like to roleplay, that's all. I just failed with Second Life not five minutes ago, it was full of cyberweirdo's who were only trying to get e-laid. And it's the same thing with Furcadia..... (Don't get me started on Furcadia.)

As the Title says, I tried to install the game, and got an error (That I realize now I should have screen cap'd) that said there was an error on the promptrestart.

I suspect it had to do with Planeshfit trying to install Microsoft C++ 2010 after the game installed itself.

But the game folder, as you can see, is still here. But when I click on the launch or exe icons, I get this message.

I also prompted for a desktop icon, but the setup closed itself due to the error, one was never placed, leading me to believe the install wasn't finished.

On a personal note: I've been trying to play this game for so long, and something has always impeded me. Whether it be no internet, or just a bad computer. Now that I have a good laptop and a good wireless network, something like this happens.. And I'm really upset.

Would it work if someone zip'd their MSVCR100.dll and sent it to me, I wonder. Probably not, though.
