I'd second that, agiel. We know that Vue has never been happy with less than syntax perfect pathing, and P7 introduced that virtual path function. No telling what mischief that alone can produce. Plus there's no telling what effect the new feature code is having.... Also, having the MSVC++ runtime installed is -good- idea. From past issues and work arounds I've dealt with, Vue's coders are developers working on dedicated development machines. And like a lot of coders, they assume the user has many of the same things on their system that they do....which usually is wrong. After I do a rebuild and reinstall of my OS, one of the first things I do is place Visual C++ 6 on it. My C coding is all but moribund, but the changes the app makes to the basic Windows OS seems to stabilize a lot of other applications. Including Vue. Others without hooks into the OS it doesn't affect one way or another.
