WORKING FIX for win7 without SP1
|
from another thread... but this deserves a new topic
" This DOES WORK without sp1.. (and most likely works with any version of windows / or issue) the packed cab file will be named cab1.cab in (hidden folder) C->ProgramData->Package Cache -> {a randomly named folder} -> packages -> vcRuntimeMinimum AFTER an installation attempt of the VC_redist file for 2015 included in Path of exile/redist folder (u can also download it from microsoft.. probably) Might have to swap "_" with "-" in the filenames - this can be done with powershell (or by hand):
Spoiler
USE POWERSHELL AT UR OWN RISK! Put all dll files in a folder -> Go To It with cd.. / cd etc commands. -MAKE SURE you are inside the correct folder with powershell and type the correct -Path (otherwise u might change the filenames on every file on ur system by mistake with a typo :/ do not do this): type: Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\EXAMPLE\THE FOLDER\" -Filter "*.dll" make sure only files u want to change are listed! then type the full command: Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\EXAMPLE\THE FOLDER\" -Filter "*.dll" | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace '_', '-'} Now copy them to ur /Path of Exile/ folder and put PathOfExile.exe on compat mode XP sp3 (and possibly admin) |

thank you good man.
If anyone cares, I uploaded all of these dlls, properly renamed(- instead of _) and can play the game now on win 7, no service packs. Don't forget to set compat setting to win xp service pack 3 on the poe exe file. Drop all the dlls in poe installation directory and you are good to go. http://www.filedropper.com/showdownload.php/visualcredistributableforvisualstudio2015 If you want to do rename yourself and are afraid of powershell, use bulk file rename program, it has a box "replace something with something". once again thanks!

i hope this is not asking too much. Can u plz make the instructions easier for dunces like me? Sort of 1. download this. 2. run this 3. run cmd and type this 4. enjoy. I just exhausted all my intelligence trying
to follow all potential fixes GGG advised to fix their irresponsible and unprofessional deployment of the recent patch. thank u very much |

Yo this is the only thing that worked for me out of everything I could find dealing w/ the missing .dll file. Although I am still unable to install VC-redistributables whether x64 or x32... Which is no longer a big issue for me at the moment. Since this allowed me to use my PoE again as GGG and God intended, exiles.
Thank you. |

1. run poe, let it download update. Now we have messed up patch on our system.
2. go to poe installation directory, right click on pathofexile.exe, under Compatibility tab, tick checkbox that enables windows xp service pack 3 compatibility. 3. dump all the files from archive(extract it somewhere first) http://www.filedropper.com/visualcredistributableforvisualstudio2015 to your path of exile directory. Nothing will be overridden, just a bunch of extra dlls that caused all these errors will be now in poe directory(they would be normally managed by windows, but since microsoft has various min requirements and you can't bypass them easily, the easiest way is this, dump all needed stuff in poe directory). dll discovery looks 1st in current directory, then shared libraries that windows manages etc Now that all dlls in poe, they are discovered. 4.launch poe ps: my fault at step3, i had a link to page that was page where you can pick up a link that is actually the file. The link in this post is correct. Dernière édition par rararaputin#6340, le 2 mars 2016 à 02:59:01
