Cannot open Wings 3D 64b in w10

[Radi]

Hi. I don't want to make another topic in order to get help (probably the same or similiar issue here)... Also I don't believe that consecutive latest 3 versions don't work at all on my Windows 7 machine. latest 2.1.5 crashing instantly and spit this dump file:

That is a strange error.
Can you try to force installing the windows runtime dlls when installing wings.

[Radi]

I have installed already c++ 2013 earlier. But anyway I selecting that option when installing but this not helping (wings installer put a note "present" next to dll's install tick so installer knows about that package).
I can't live without Wings for soo long.. my lifespan is going to be shorter and shorter each day ;p HELP

But anyway I selecting that option when installing but this not helping (wings installer put a note "present" next to dll's install tick so installer knows about that package).

And its installer was started for Recover or Uninstall - right?! That's not good.

Are you trying to install 64 or 32bits version? If it's the 64, could you try to install the 32bits version?

[Radi]

I installed 32bit version and it's working, much slower that 1.5.4 for example but working somehow..

@micheus: you have an typo in 'collection' in signature ;p

Fixed. Thanks.

I tried to track the possible causes of your initial crash and I got into wxe_master.erl init_port/0 when the wx driver should be loaded. So, I went to C:\Program Files\wings3d_2.1.5\lib\wx-1.8\priv and found the wxe_driver.dll which I renamed and then tried to start Wings3D and got the same log as yours:

Code:

          {wings,init,1,
                 [{file,"c:/Users/familjen/src/wings/src/wings.erl"},
                  {line,105}]}]}

So, could you check it that fie is present in your 64bit installation?
