0xc00007b

[ZanThrax]

I've installed this game on two different computers, multiple times each. This error is all that I've ever been able to get. I know Grimrock is supposed to be old school, but unintelligible errors that prevent one from ever playing is a little too authentically nineties for my liking.

Probably caused by a conflict between 32-bit and 64-bit dlls on your system. Could you try installing this from Microsoft:

btw. where did you buy the game from, gog, steam or humble store?

Isn't this the title of notch's new game?

I bought it via GoG.

The x86 installer won't let me install; it claims that I already have a newer version on my system.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit and had the same problem.

I resolved it by installing the VS 2010 C++ SP1 64 bit runtime and then Direct X.

VS 2010 C++ SP1 install link: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... x?id=13523

Direct X install: https://www.microsoft.com/download/en/d ... g=en&id=35

Perhaps you already solved the problem but just in case:

Win7 64 bit is DirectX 11 compatible BUT it doesn't mean that it has all the updated DirectX 9 files in it.

in order to update the file, when necessary, just download and run the setup file of the Direct X redistributable. Get them from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... px?id=8109

Dowload them inside a temp folder and run the setup file. It will update the files if necessary. After that you can delete the temp folder.

Run the game
