2.5 Alpha 2 Win 64-bit - Startup Error

Hello,

I always get this error on startup, everything seems to work fine (I’ve just tried some basic stuff so far) but I just thought I would post and see if anyone else is getting the same error. Here’s all the blender related stuff I have installed:

blender 2.5 alpha 2
Win Vista 64-bit
Python 3.1 (64 bit)
Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable (64 bit) (the download page says this is required)

Also I have Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite installed on this machine I don’t know if that would affect anything. The error I get in the console on startup is below.

Thanks!

Have you tried a build from www.graphicall.org?

The official releases are really out of date with the development.

I get that with all builds. Using my WIN7 64bit system. I would like to fix this also.

Thanks for the tip, I got the latest build from the graphicall.org site and it seems to have started up without error!
