Not starting after install on Win 7 Pro


Recommended Posts

Installed Synergy 2 Beta 3 on desktop running Win 7 Pro 64bit. When I tried to start it the following message came up: "The procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate could not be located in the dynamic library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll". Installed fine on Win 10 laptop.

Please try rebooting your computer and redownloading the installer. It could be corrupt, or there may be something running on your computer that's causing the error.

I have been running v1.8.8 on the computer and had no problems. I uninstalled v1.8.8 and then rebooted the computer. I downloaded v2.0.0-beta3 and installed it. Came up with the same errors as above. I rebooted the computer and the same happened.

Ah, I wonder if your runtimes are out of date. Could you please go to add/remove programs and uninstall everything that starts with "Microsoft Visual C++", then reinstall Synergy.

@Jerry Hou The Synergy 2 installer installs the correct runtime, right?

This is likely because you don't have all the Windows 7 updates installed, in particular this one: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows

Microsoft discourage application developers from shipping these DLLs with their application, since they're now a part of Windows itself, instead they recommend that people using Windows 8.1 and below simply make sure they have the latest service pack and updates installed.

Software now running but the cloud being down means that I can't try it.

Really sorry about that. I'm pretty close to picking up the phone and attempting to wake @Andrew Nelless and @Dan Sorahan, but that'll impact tomorrow's development... so it's probably unwise.
