Hi all, first post here and first attempt at using B3.

I did read the post about posting your config and all that but I figured there was no need since it isn't getting that far. The exact same config works from Windows 7 pro 64 bit, B3_run just wont execute on Windows server 2k8 32bit. Is 2k8 supported? If so, has anyone seen this error with it before?

"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail."

I checked the event logs and found the follow:

"Activation context generation failed for "F:\users\p0laris\applications\b3\b3_run.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.CRT,procecssorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="blahblahblah",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

That led me to the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948619

That is telling me that i need files from Visual studio that should be in the installer of b3 (I thought it was written in python??)

None of the files listed on that link are the files listed in the readme that I would have to forage for myself. Any idea on what the problem might be or how to resolve it?

I tried the installer and I tried the zip file setup.

My next step is to try and get it running on a mac but my Win 2k8 server is up 24/7 and is the better option for consistent monitoring.

Thanks for any guidance on this.

Hi,

Try again after installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

About Mac, we had a few reports of user that suceeded running B3 on Mac, but they had difficulties and we are not able to provide much help with that matter. You can find a few topics regarding Mac on the forums I guess.

That seems to have done the trick, Courgette! Thanks a lot!
