Hello everyone,

I'm having a strange set of problems with attempting to install and get XBMC running on my Windows XP machine.

Here is what is happening:


1. I install the stable 9.04 XBMC from http://xbmc.org/download/

2. I run XBMCupdate_0.7.9 and it updates to version 24114

3. I add my movies Media Source which is stored on a local drive and point it to the IMDB scraper. It scraps what seems to be successfully.

4. Now whenever I press 'C' or right click on a movie to view "Movie Information" I get the following Runtime error:

"R6025 - pure virtual function call"


Now, I've tried just using the stable copy of XBMC, but the IMDB scraper is out of date and it doesn't seem to like it when I update it. Also, the skin Transparency doesn't work with the stable version for me.

I've also tried updating by grabbing the latest 24114 from here:
http://danielpatton.com/user-accounts/XBMC-updates/
And then just copying and pasting that into my Stable XBMC folder. But that doesn't work either.

Please let me know if you have any ideas as to why this might be happening or if I should go about updating to the latest version of XBMC another way!!

Thanks!

1. Remove all msvc*.dll from the XBMC folder, and from XBMC/system.
2. Run XBMC.
3. If it complains about additional dlls, then install the Visual Studio 2008 runtimes from Microsoft.

Cheers,
Jonathan

So the MSVC7* files are no longer needed as well? Thats cool.

There are needed but we've got problems by packing them with the build. We only saw problems so far when the msvc*90.dll where in place though. Installing the runtimes is ofc the better alternative though I dunno if the 7 dlls are with vs2008.

I did a fresh install of XBMC stable, and then used the XBMCupdater, and it now has build 24171 on there...

And strangely the problem seems to be fixed. (I never deleted the .dll)

Should I delete it just in case?

Also - can you give me a link to the correct runtimes to install so I can keep that handy somewhere just in case this all happens again?

Thanks everyone for your help.

The msvc?90.dll's in the XBMC installation directory should be deleted in any case (if they are still there).
If needed you can install them from here:
