Solved my own problem I was missing this file
MSVBVM50.DLL
Got it from here
Reran the Win7inst.bat which puts it in the right place and VCR.EXE now works
Hi, I am a returning player trying to get Planets4 running on my win8.1 system. I have followed all the instructions from the wiki here: http://planets4.hood-net.org/wiki/index.php/OS and have planets4 running fine but whenever I try to run VCR.exe to view a battle this error appears in a pop up:
"Run-time error 282
No foreign application responded to a DDE initiate"
Click OK on the error box and both VCR/Planets close down.
This is different to the error mentioned on the wikki page. I have tried both the directX and win32.dll versions of VCR. Both give this error. The versions I have of VCR are dated 2002-02, are there any later versions out there that I am missing?
Any help appreciated. DrAstroman
