Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application

[tron3dfx]

Hi, I get the following exact error when launching the launcher.exe:

"Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application."

That's it. It doesn't do anything else, just this error.

System specs are as follows:

WXP Pro SP3, all updates current
Athlon 2Ghz, 2GB RAM
GeForce 6150LE (don't laugh)
DX9c and .NET current of course, included with all latest updates...

I'm at a loss, surely the vid card not being the "recommended" would not cause the launcher to get such a message.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm all ears, what the hell am I missing here? B-D

Well the minimum GPU is a 6800? That might be it.

even though my direct x was updated, i still had to download the DirectX End-User Runtime Update listed as #4 on the list, and then it worked for me...but not sure if this is your problem

This error usually occurs with the launcher when you don't have the right .NET installed. Try and reinstall the .NET framework.

Actually it was very interesting. WXP Pro SP3, and I had to install the .NET framework core files from the DEVELOPER download .NET #3 to make it work (developer files .NET #4 did not fix it).
==what I'm trying to say is the "consumer" .NET downloads did not fix the problem, only the "developer" #3 did.
==most folks won't take the trouble to download the developer's files, why should you if you're not writing some code?
