Annoying bug T_T (FIXED)

I've used Construct for about a month, and have really enjoyed my time using it, but I've gotten an error I just cant fix. This is probably a common question, but I have yet to find a topic that solves this. So whenever I run my game, I get this:

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application."

I can run other people's games, just not mine. I cant even run my other projects. Even when I compile them to exes. Any way to fix this? Please help, I've made some really nice games

Just out of curiosity did you use a different version of Construct to make your game's before you switched to a different build or you're using the same build that you made those game's with?

Can you post a simple .cap that triggers the problem for you? Maybe it is an existing bug?

Also, you should try your .cap out with the latest unstable build .99.84:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/construct/files/construct/Construct%200.99.84/Construct09984setup.exe/download

Yes, I have the latest build. I also tried re-installing it, and it still didn't work. I doubt there's anything wrong with the cap file, since I cant run ANY of my projects.

Sounds like an odd problem. The only thing I thought of to add is that I'd try deleting any and all .persist files in the folder those projects are in. Sometimes they make Construct a bit wonky.

Just so everyone knows, I've already helped him solve this problem.

Yep, it's fixed now ^-^

Well, It would be nice to know, how you fixed the problem. So later we know to help when someone gets the same problem, don't you think?

I'll just explain it, but he should edit his post too (and put "Solved" in the title):

He selected "Enable Scripting" in the Application Properties without knowing the difference between Events and Python. He didn't have the Python Libraries installed, so it caused his game to crash.

I think there should be a better warning when someone doesn't have the Python Libraries. Maybe an error message saying that it can't find Python?

Edit: Yeah, it is NOT a bug.

He didn't have the Python Libraries installed, so it caused his game to crash.

There is a big popup when you enable scripting and build and exe that says to copy over the python26.dll into the game directory. I'm not sure how much more of a warning can be given. Technically, you shouldn't need the Python libraries installed. Just copy the Dll over.

However, either way I agree it would be helpful if the error message stated that Python could not be found.

I know this topic is old and dead, but I'm interested in using Python and don't get any pop-ups with information on what to do with the python26.dll

I've installed python, but where do I need to copy the .dll to?

Thanks
