I keep getting a visual C++ runtime error while starting up a fresh install of blender.... The following is a list of tasks that I have performed to try and fix the problem.
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling Python 2.7.5
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling Current Versions of C++
- Used a working computer to compare versions of C++ and installed parallel versions of C++ clearing out my current list and using the working computer's versions and distributions (which were very hard to find considering on microsoft's website C++ 2008 only has one version available for download now)
Although version 2.63 works fine for me, I have just recently purchased an Addon that I would like to use for blender/Second Life called "Avastar" I can only use beta versions of this software with 2.63 as the stable version is only compatible with 2.69
After about 2-3 hours of installing and uninstalling software related to C++ and Python I've done a system restore and am now posting for help. Below are my current System Specs
- AMD Phenom II X4 965 (3.40 GHz)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
- 8GB DDR3
- Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Please note: I've tried installing both versions of blender (x64, x86) both Zip & Installer
