Re: [Pipmak-Users] Unofficial Release of Pipmak Build 155 for Win32

[Fabrizio P. <fpi...@gm...>]

Hello,
Andrea and Christian, congratulation for your great work! Well done!
However, the Pipmak Build155 Win32 does not run on my pc:(win XPsp2, 
athlon64+3500,nVidia 7600gs) an error message occour : "Unable to run 
the applications specified. Application's configurations is not correct. 
A new installation can resolve the problem" but maybe does not the matter
 I think that not last MSVCRT nor .NET framework are installed on my pc, 
further more I had an huge amount of problem with my machine, I've 
changed 2 HD and formatted several times and it still stucking or 
rebooting itself... and I can't go on with my game. Is impossible to 
understand the cause... maybe there is a poltergeinst!!! LOL

Fabrizio.
