There is a good reason why software like this has never been included (even as an option) - It simply doesn't work.</p> <p>Memory Optimizers give the illusion that they might be helping (Perhaps nice graphs- but the reality is when you are running out of memory, shifting the deckchairs to the other side of the titanic isn't going to make it stay afloat.

What I'm saying is perhaps you should replace or re-install them. And yes, you can always <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259403">reinstall the DLLs</a>. Also, oddly enough, I can't find that version of that DLL <em>anywhere</em>. Either you made a typo, or that one's been modified (or updated) in an undocumented way (Although it might be part of .NET's changes; You might want to try reinstalling and/or updating that, too.).<br /> Either way, I suggest you back up the files that that redist installs, and then install that redist and see if it somehow fixes the problem. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1407#post-8807 Sun, 22 Jul 2007 22:28:27 +0000 fred2007 8807@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I already have those files. But i´ll check them.<br /> I remember updating the MSVCRT.DLL. Maybe the stupid giveaway installer uses an outdated one. Oo</p> <p>Sooo. They are all here. MFC30 to 80. What´s the problem?<br /> I also got MSVCRT.DLL, MSVCRT20.DLL and MSVCRT40.DLL<br /> MSVCRT.DLL is Version 6.10.8942.0 from 23rd september 2003.</p> <p>The rest of the files are system files belonging to windows i can´t change or update since there are no updates available. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1407#post-8799 Sun, 22 Jul 2007 20:37:46 +0000 Keilaron 8799@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Sorry, fred2007, I was assuming the set-up for both the apps and games were the same. It seems to be. Either way, the basic dependencies for this installer (SpaceInterceptor's GotD SETUP.EXE) are:</p> <ul> <li>WININET.DLL</li> <li>MFC42.DLL</li> <li>MSVCRT.DLL</li> <li>KERNEL32.DLL</li> <li>USER32.DLL</li> <li>ADVAPI32.DLL</li> <li>SHELL32.DLL</li> </ul> <p>I'm tempted to blame the MSVCRT or MFC - and that's available to Win9x. Try to reinstall that file, perhaps? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1407#post-8758 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 00:59:03 +0000 fred2007 8758@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Toadays game giveaway doesn´t work... again.<br /> Please provide working installers and not this crap.</p> <p><a href="http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/323/ggotdcrashinoo6.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/323/ggotdcrashinoo6.jpg</a></p> <p>Here you can see clear in black letters on a grey box.

GOTD doesn't write a new setup program for each new game they offer. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1407#post-8712 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 19:38:47 +0000 Fred 8712@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Read carefully. The game that didn´t install was Biathlon 2006: Go for Gold. The game giveaways of the following days worked fine again.<br /> It happens from time to time that the installer doesn´t run under Win 98 even the software description mentions that the software supports Win 98.<br /> That´s really annoying! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1407#post-8707 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:39:06 +0000 Keilaron 8707@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Are you sure it uses VC++ Version 8 runtimes?

I've yet to try any .NET. However, unless this is coded in anything later than VC6 (and I don't think it is, as I've not seen any .NET dependencies), you should be able to run this program in '98. If not, you may be missing another dependency or you may have downloaded the wrong version (?).<br /> Edit: Of course, it doesn't help if they didn't use any '98 subroutines. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1407#post-8599 Mon, 16 Jul 2007 21:16:17 +0000 Fred 8599@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>It´s a fact that the newest visual c++ runtimes don´t support older operating systems.<br /> You can install the redistributable but the apps will keep crashing with or without these runtimes.<br /> It´s not the first time that a giveaway can´t be installed since the giveaway installer is unable to run under Windows 98.
