Hi,
Just purchased the early access through steam on Win7 64-bit Ultimate and unable to launch the game as I'm getting an error that rwr_config.exe has stopped working. The full error signature is below. Unsuccessful attempts to resolve this have included re-downloading & installing RWR through steam, reinstalling the VC redistributable, running in various compatibility modes and running as admin. This error also occurs when trying the demo. Is there any additional info that I can provide to help diagnose?

Thanks
Alby

Don't know if this can work, like you say, you have reinstaller redistributable, but hte error seem to be from a redistributable.....
Try this : http://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download ... x?id=30679 ^^'

Thanks Technowix, but still not working with that version of the VC redistributable and I'm not getting similar errors with other software that depends on it. Are there any debug switches that I can use to get you a stack trace of the exception?

Thanks

Does it create any files in %appdata%\Running with rifles\? rwr_config.log would be the more interesting one, but not sure if it's getting even that far with it to actually start logging.

Thanks for the pointer to that log file Pasik - it is generating one. No error messages but the last message I'm getting in there is "OverlayElementFactory for type TextArea2 registered". What should it be doing after that? Full log contents below:

I can add some traces to get a closer idea what happens around there, but try the zip I linked to you in the private message, would be good to rule it out if it doesn't help.
