Right, first things first, I am new here.

I have used a few scripting programs before, but usually background scripts, so Simba is a little unnerving.

I went through the video tutorial and followed step by step, had a few problems early on, but fixed them when I realized I was skipping a step.

The problem I am having now I have tried to fix in a couple ways already

When I run the MSI I get the error message MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer, reinstall blah blah blah.

First thing I tried: Checked the FAQs and a thread for the other dll error. From there I downloaded the file I needed (msvcr100) from a link from a quick google search, and then copy/pasted it into the system32 folder as instructed.

Tried again and failed.

Next thing: I had noticed a few mentions of the Microsoft Visual C++ things. So I did a quick hunt to see which I had installed. According to the list I found here (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/the-program-cant-start-becuase-msvcr100dll-is/5c9d301a-2191-4edb-916e-5e4958558090) I have all of the C++ redistributables, so that isn't the problem.

After I discovered that, I tried one last time, as usual I ran as Administrater.

Still getting the same error message.

Thanks in advance for the help ^_^

UPDATE: Solved.

When I downloaded the file, I put it in the system32 folder, but I was supposed to put it in the Java/jre7/bin folder

Just in case someone else has this problem.

You are supposed to download the file(which you did) and put it in the folder that is explained there(one of the java ones iirc), not just let it rot in your downloads folder.

I copied the downloaded dll into the system32 folder as instructed

I will edit my former post.

Sorry for the inconvenience.


EDIT: Wow, I put it in the wrong folder. -.-*

Sorry for the amateur mistake.
