I have received similar reports from one user on vista. It works fine in xp on my mac, but he reports the following when trying to run it in vista: I cannot install the program- I receive an error message saying that maxcrt.dll is missing, although I can see it in the list of install files. When I click the error message off, I get another message saying "Max has encountered an error" and the install crashes.

any insight on this?

What version of Max are you guys running/building your standalones on?

5.08

My message dates back to the 5.0.7 era. In the meantime I have been able to get it working on a number of windows versions, including Vista. I inform users to update their system as well as quicktime. So far on one it won't work but don't know yet why.

Interesting thread.

I'm about to port a standalone from Mac to PC and have been wondering about this myself. I have 5.0.8. Since the app I'm building is primarily used by Networking types who tend to use XP, I planned to do the build on XP. If I do that, will it still run on Vista? How about Windows 7? Is there a "better" Windows flavor to do the build on that makes it more versatile? Thanks.

For Vista definitely yes, 7 no experience yet, but I somehow expect it will. I'm running xp on parallels.

hey. I opened vpt 4.0 it looked good, but no video.. I installed quicktime. Vpt will not open. So, I installed the demo version of maxmsp 5. and it worked, inside that program.

Any way to use vlc media player instead of quicktime?
