Procedure entry point error message

[Madzack]

Hi, I've just downloaded & installed Grimrock from GoG, tried launching but got this message:

The procedure entry point
??1critical_section@Concurrency@@QAE@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR100dll

What does that mean?
How can I rectify this?

I've posted this on Gog forums, so far no reply.

Can you help?

Can anyone help please?

You could try if installing this
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... px?id=5555 on a 32-bit Windows Version or this
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... x?id=14632 on a 64-bit Version helps.

This is just a guess though. I' wouldn't count on it.

But if nobody else responds you could try it.

It looks like you have a wrong/bad version of a library file, and I think it belongs to this package.

Thanks for replying!

I did what you suggest, still getting same message.

You did your best though, thanks.

You could also try this. Though manually replacing dlls is sure not the best or most secure solution.

Sounds like the Microsoft DLL is of some old/incorrect version. Installing the Visual Studio 2010 runtime libraries should have fixed that. Finding the right 32-bit version of the DLL and placing it next to the Grimrock exe should fix this but the problem is where to get it reliably. What version of Windows are you running?

Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit (6.1 Build 7601)

Have to keep bumping. Hope you guys can help.

Tak, y'all

Sorry to do this, but can anyone here help?

Tak.

I did everything; download the .dll, clean the registry, still nothing. Can anybody help here?

Again, it's Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit (6.1 Build 7601)
