Dear all I just tried to install the latest version of Pymol on a XP laptop. The installation completes but when I try to launch the program I get pymol.exe - Unable to Locate Component This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. It says that re-installing might help but it doesn't. I can't google anything about this. Has anyone any ideas? Thanks in advance Daniel |

Daniel, > I just tried to install the latest version of Pymol on a XP laptop. The > installation completes but when I try to launch the program I get Are you trying the latest release version or one of the betas? In any event, it might be possible to install an older version (although this may not work, if it fails in the same way it could help you to isolate the problem). > This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. MSVCR71.dll appears to a a windows c++ runtime library (probably required for some c stuff, as last time I checked there wasn't any c++ in pymol). Either the file isn't present (try searching for it), or the executable can't find this (on unix, you'd fix this with LD_LIBRARY_PATH... for windows, I believe this is done by registering the dll ; google or msdn should have more information on this. If I rememeber correctly, regsvr MSVCR77.dll should work, but as always check things carefully before messing around with the windows registry). Hope this helps (at least until somebody with more experience with windows than me can chime in). Pete Pete Meyer Fu Lab BMCB grad student Cornell University |

Dear Pete Thanks for the help. The one that didn't work was the standard 0.99, not a beta version - pymol-0_99rc1-bin-win32.zip. As you suggested, the earlier 0.98 - pymol-0_98rc5-bin-win32.zip *does* work so I'm up and running. I guess others will know the ins and outs of the error.
