Did you try my solution?

[Devil]

Sorry I didn't read if there was one, it doesn't bother me, just thought I'd let you guys know it's happening, if you didn't already.

I'll check out the solution.

1. Delete Windows Defender.
2. Open up Window's Search program.
3. Search for MSVCR80.dll
4. Delete those files

Those steps worked to get Graal up and running again, and I had to experiment considering the Graal help e-mail address is.. unactive?

Anyway, I haven't had any problems yet, but if you want an antispyware program, go to <http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html> and find a good mirror for the file (which is called SpyBot, and it works pretty good). I also use Ad-Aware, so that is a good program too. Also, Zone Alarm seems to be a good firewall.

P.S. Don't blame me if the anti-virus/spyware programs don't work (for you), they are just suggestions.

Why not just static link these DLLS and then noone will have these problems. I still can not even install graal cause teh isntaller gives errors (read previous posts) and yes I tried the manifest file "solution" and it gives a completely different error about a missing atl80.dll file. I found it online, put it in the folder, still didn't work. Can you please provide a better solution?

I spoke with another person having this same issue in a chatroom, they claim it is a bug in the installer software that Graal uses, can you please look into this possibility. If it is simply a matter of switching Installers there are tons of alternatives, like Nullsoft Intsall System

I've found the solution to the ATL80.dll problem, here is updated manifest for it.
Place attached manifest.txt in Graal folder and rename to Graal4.exe.manifest. And for RC do the same.

The problem with those manifests is that they are only working if you have exactly the same bugged dlls on your computer. Graal is not using those dlls (they are not existing on the computer where Graal is compiled) that's why it cannot be linked against them anyway.

[Devil]

The manifests didn't work for me, and as I said I uninstalled Windows Defender, and that's the best way to get Graal to work again.

Has anyone reported or tried to report this problem to Microsoft?

Is Graal on Windows being built using Visual C++?

Graal may not be using them directly but perhaps certain components like the standard windows buttons/check boxes/etc use them?
I say this because the errors were only generated (for me atleast) when i tried to open the player pm history. Additionaly after using the manifest files all the default buttons used in graal (playerlist, options dialog, etc) appear to be more uhm stylish now

I'm having this issue too, but have not installed Windows Defender. I have, however, installed .NET updates from windowsupdate.

[theunknown]

I have had this issue before and it required, if you have it, to uninstall Windows Live Messenger, or get the newest .NET Framework.

[Draenin]

I've done both, still experiencing problems.

Manifest is not working?

Wow... this post would have been good to know about about 5 minutes ago before I deleted all of my Graal files and emptied my recycling bin... Now I can't even install Graal without the MSVCR80.dll problem comming up X_x Any ideas how I can get my graal back? =/
