Hi,

I am using Windows XP SP3 and after installing of Fanaleds 2.0 I got an error message (translated from hungarian):


Component cannot be found (text in header)
Failed to start the application, beacuse d2d1.dll cannot be found. Reinstall of application may solve the problem.


Please help!

Thanks

Everything still works if you go back to 1.6a? Have you already tried 2.0a?

With version 1.6a everything works fine.

I already tried 2.0a, but I also have the same error with 2.0a. :(

What parameters of my system would you require in this issue?

I'm not sure what you mean with that?

We haven't tested this with Windows XP, so I can't really help you further right now.

Did you try to Google the problem? I believe it's a 'common' error. Perhaps there's also a common solution.

I meant to provide any required data of my rig to improve the help-process.

I tried to google, and downloaded d2d1.dll. Put that into system and FanaLEDs program directory, but have a newer problem (Entry point of procedure (_ftol2) not found in DLL (msvcrt.dll)) :(

Very sorry about that you can't help. :(

Trying further....

Sorry, can't help you with that. We'll have to find another XP machine to try it out.

First try and update your directX to the latest version, does it fix anything?

DirectX webinstaller

If not try this as well:

VC++ 2010 runtime

Found the issue, apparently I used a library that's not fully supported under XP (and hopefully Vista).

Expect a fix for this soon.
