C&C KW Launching error

c&c kw

That should not happen at all to begin with. If you truly have the required C++ runtimes, something is blocking access. Disable the User Account Control and add both the launcher and the game to exception lists in your firewall and antivirus.

Hi guys!

I keep getting the error : MSVCR80.dll is missing when I try to start the KW from the launcher.

I have read all the topics about it, but none of them helped me. neither did the hooking.

I am using win 10, bought the game 5 years ago, not using steam nor origin.

Please help I am clueless!

Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable: https://www.microsof...s.aspx?id=26347

(Launch the setup program as administrator.)

If that doesn't fix the problem (which it should if you don't have the necessary file), run the C&C:Online launcher as administrator and in compatibility mode for WinXP SP3.

Thanks a lot for the instant reply! However the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable was already installed.

The other option wasn't successful either.

I reinstalled the whole game today but the problem is still here.

If I downloaded the .dll file manually where shall I put it to make it work?

The game's directory and the launcher's directory, to be on the safe side.

I did it, now I got a new error yay :

 

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
 
What should I do with this one? I guess I should remove my .dlls. Or can I replace it somewhere else to make it work properly?

I suggest that you uninstall and then download and reinstall the launcher again too.

Reinstalled the whole thing including the launcher but it didn't create that msvcr80.dll file and it won't accept it if I put the .dll in manually.

Tried to put it in my Syswow folder in the windows directory (where the other msvcr dlls are located) but I got the same R6034 runtime error. When I remove that .dll file the launcher will say it could not find the msvcr80.dll file therefore I am screwed.

I am not a programmer I can't make the launcher realize that the .dll file is there.

Can you look up your own launcher and game directory and tell me what kind of .dll files are in there? I would really appriciate that.

Yay I made progress thanks to you! My aggressive antivirus was causing the problem even when it was disabled but luckily I could solve that.

Now I can Launch the game through the Launcher but the online option will lead me to the original Gamespy login page and I can not go any further from there : The Login, Register and Delete ID options are not clickable

I have the latest version of the game 1.02, I allowed everything through my firewall antivirus is disabled

No matter what I do the options listed above are non clickable, what can be done?

Did you input the necessary credentials first, like so?

I downloaded all four 1.02+ map packs and installed them but still can't log in. What other requirements are there that I am missing?

 

I am using Avast Free Antivirus which is super sensitive it said even the 1.02+ map packs have viruses

 

(I won't be able to answer for a week after that I will come back here)

When you do come back, please make your own topic because it sounds like your problem has little to do with this one. When you make your new topic, please be sure to post your error log. See How to Report Issues for instructions.
