    Hello everyone,

    I am facing this problem: every time I tried to install the program, I received a message error, please find below a screenshot.

    

    I have tried to follow the solutions for the common problems window issues such as Deactivate Firewall, run it as an administrator, copy the folder to c://, and execute compatibility mode for Vista SP 2Is there anyone, who was facing this problem? Can you help me to fix it?

    PS: I am using Win 7 32 bits SP 1 (Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601)

    Thanks in advance!

    We can find a solution together.
    You version is very old but we might be able to update some libraries so we can Open.
    I compiled this on a Windows 10 Machine with 64 bits. But I’ve had customers using 32 bits and no problem at all.
    Please contact me on Skype so we can schedule a Teamviewer call and I can update this post with the proper steps to solve your problem.

    He was using Windows 7 sp 1 32 bits.

    I couldn’t make something from the future work in the past. We tried debugging like this:

    1. Try Running Link&Grow with AND WITHOUT “Administrator” privellages 2 – Install this (C++ Redistributable) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
    2. Install this (.NET 4.5) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653
    3. -> Alternative working .NET Frameworks : .NET 4.6.0 Official link – https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=48130
    4. .NET 4.6.1 Official link – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49982
    5. .NET 4.6.2 Official link –https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53344
    6. Make sure your AV and Firewall are not blocking, add the bot to any whitelists 5 – make sure Windows UAC is not blocking the bot from functioning 6 – Move the bot folder including ALL FILES to “C://” 7 – Try setting compatibility to Windows Vista SP2 8 – Restart your PC

     

    But not real change. He needs to upgrade Windows since I compiled on Windows 10.
