(Crash) When I Start the Game

from Elemental Forums

When I start the game from impulse nothing happens and when I try to run the game from the start menu I get this error meseage. "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

The path referenced when this pops up is C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Elemental\Elemental.exe

I am running Windows XP and have NVIDia GeForce 8300 GS card.

Any advice?

You probably didn't get the C++ runtime thingie installed properly.  The process for that should have fired up immediately after the main game installation.  The only solution I know of is to try reinstalling (which, unfortunately, means downloading again), and then make sure the C++ runtime gets through its installation without incident.

The C++ Redistributables can be found in your intallation directory under the /REDIST/ folder.  Go there to reinstall them without redownloading the entire game.
