Can't open Construct 2

Problem Description

When I try to open Construct 2 I get a error message:

"Construct2.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library Construct2.exe"

When I check Eventviewer it returns this info:

event id 26 level 4 construct2.exe

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Install latest Stable build, 64-bit
• Next day try to open it. Returns error message: Can't find &"%.DLL Try to fix problem reinstalling software
• Install latest beta build, 64-bit
• Works fine the first day. I'm checking all the example projects, some are limited due to free version.
• The second day it returns the message I'm here now.

Operating System and Service Pack

Win10 64-bit build 10586

Construct 2 Version ID

Release r229

I am having the same issue. Have tried installing it on three different computers now, works fine the first time I launch it, but after that Construct doesn't work on that computer ever, even if I reinstall. All those computers have also had a finnish version of Windows like OP, could this be the cause? Could this have something to do with the special characters perhaps? The error message I am getting is "The program could not open because åö?.dll is missing from the computer. Try to fix the problem by reinstalling. "

The error message isn't identical, but both are caused by .dll files. Could still be related, I think.

I´m also experiencing a similar problem (weird dll-file missing, or entry point can´t be found).

There is a thread with much more info here:

I seem to be able to use beta 226, but not version 227, 228 or 229.

Thanks! I tried some of the previous versions, but this one works for me!

It's solved for me as well by reverting to r266. I would like to know when it's fixed so I can update the software.

Gede09 mindragon73 Alphatiko Whatever it was that was causing issues with r227, r228 and r229 seems to be fixed now as the latest beta release r230 is opening/working normally, at least on my system. Just thought to let you know in case you are still experiencing problems and want to try to update to a newer version.

Waltuo Thanks for posting! I will try someday.

Thank you!

Yes, version 230 seems to work!

Just started to happen on multiple computers with r233.
