Alright, at this day and age, we having M***NS not knowing what windows architecture are using.
If you have 4gb of ram or less you are using x32(x86)
If more then 4gb (like 8-16-32gb) you are using x64.
If you are using older windows like win7 or even older I advice you to stop playing porn games and actually find a fucking job and save up 100 bucks for new laptop or desktop and stop whining here like an absolute units.
I am saying this because new software requires new Net-Framework too. And if you have win7 or XP you can softlock your ass.
Although if you have winXP you can get away with 3.5.1 framework for a time.
So here's the solution.
1. Download DirectX
You must be registered to see the links
(or if link broken- google DirectX, click on first link)
2. Download Visual
You must be registered to see the links
(or if link broken- google VC++ , click on first link)
WARNING!! Microsoft no longer bundle x86 and x64 for x64 devices. If you have more than 4 GB RAM download BOTH x86 and x64 and install BOTH!
If you have <4GB less , download an install x86 only.
Scroll down and go to the top.
From ->
Visual Studio 2005 - to the Visual Studio 2022(which is a bundle from 2015-2022)
3. Win10 or Win11 comes preinstalled with new Net Framework 4.8 but Win 7 needs to download it. I donno what options are there. But 4.5 was the last one I knew.
Still not working? Google your sorrows away. Nobody here has time to nitpick your faulty hardware for free. Or at LEAST POST WHAT FUCKING ERROR IT IS. It's not the same error every time. Maybe you don't have some additional software, so error changes.
Also note, if the same error persist and you were provided solution, you install it incorrectly.
Also these steps are MANDATORY every time you fucking install windows if you want to even sniff at games. This shit is so basic, Im not gonna be surprised if half of you dimwits even installed proper drivers for GPU and CPU.
I can't believe 5 pages and three weeks has passed and ya'll be doing exactly same shit.
UPDATED- Microsoft do not bundle both x86 and x64 in their x64 visuals anymore.
Those that are on x64 windows need to download and install BOTH x86 and x64
