Hello.

I have been trying to install the 64bit version of Celestia 1.7.0 dev-7, but it keeps giving me an error. It says that I'm missing two files: fmod64.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll.

I found fmod64.dll on the website, but I cannot find VCRUNTIME140.dll. Where do I get this file?

Also, another quick question, how do I change my signature? I couldn't see an option to change it in the UCP.

Which version did you exactly download and how did you install it? I just downloaded the executebale and dll as described on this topic: https://celestiaproject.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17731 and it worked fine. I should mention that I backed up the 1.6.1 exe and renamed the new one to celestia.exe. Usuming you are running windows of course.
It seems there was an update earlier this month, I haven't tried that one out yet

Added after 3 minutes 36 seconds:
OK I tried it out and it works as well. You did properly install 1.6.1 before, right?

I used the dev-7 version that I downloaded from the Alexell site. Would it cause problems to run the file from the downloads folder?

Celestia's executable and fmod.dll need to be in the main Celestia directory.


VCRUNTIME140.dl is the C++ Runtime Library for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. Get it from Microsoft, nowhere else. E.g. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/search?query=Visual studio 2015 C++ runtime

Their script will install it into the appropriate system directory.

Thank you very much! It works now!
