PS: since I don't have access to an Android device at the moment, I have not been able to test the Android executable.

Seems to run fine, and replaced previous version in ongoing Android tournament. Thanks.

Hello Jan

i downloaded it and put it on my OS Win7x64 but it doesnt work
it gives me an error hint ... can you please tell me what i am doing wrong

P.S. the same downloaded file runs perfectly under OS WinXP 32bit
yes i know Rotor 0.8 is only 32bit, but it should also run under x64 so do others

thanx

Hi Mike,

Can you give some more information, an error message perhaps?
What happens if you run the executable from the DOS command prompt?
I ran the executable on a Windows 7 64 bit PC and it seemed to work OK.

On my Win7 x64 laptop it would not run unless I installed a package from Microsoft, can't recall exactly what it was.

Hi Jan

first error hint:

" the programm did nt start cause MSVCR100.dll is missing on your PC. Install it to solve ..."

than i ask aunt google and installed MS visual c++ 2010 and its sp1 (vcredist_x64.exe) on win7x64 than do a reboot

but that does not solve this problem

than i copied an msvcr100.dll file (2013/02/28) i found on web in win-system32 folder and win-syswow64 folder and also in rotor-folder ... after reboot comes a new error hint:

"prog could not start correctly (0x000007b). Press ok to close it"

the console output is exactly like the first error hint

Hi Jan

ok its solved !!!!!!!

searched for msvcr100.dll and msvrp100.dll
found both in folder for mozilla firefox
copy it into rotor folder

... its solved - engine is running properly

best mike

[mike angel]

... msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll ... of course

[Modern Times]

Yes that missing DLL is the problem I had too.

What I needed to install was something like the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. You shouldn't have to do that, it ought to be possible to distribute an engine exe that simply works ?
