I didn’t know where to post this, so I thought I’d do it here. I downloaded the 2.5 beta from blender.org (just to clarify it isn’t any other build) , installed it, and when I run it, what comes up is :
In a small popup window :
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: (Shows the location)
The application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application’s support team for more information.
When I hit Ok, a generic “blender.exe has encountered a problem…” comes up. So I can’t run it.
Sorry…I did mean alpha, I just got used to calling new software “beta”. I am using the 32 bit version, and I am running XP. Its a bit old system, Pentium 4 and all. Could that be the problem?
