Max 5 stabdalone wont work on PC without max installed!!!
hi
i have been trying to export a patch as a standalone app using max 5. i am doing this in the same way as i did previously with max 4.6 . the app works on a PC with max 5 installed but will not work on a PC with no max 5 installed. I have tried it on 3 PC's, all running windows XP service pack 2 and get the following dialog box:
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
when i install the max trail on the same PC's the app then does work. i need to be able to use my stand alones on systems with no max installed. Please help.
thanks

Does it create it's own preferences?

I also have gotten this message on some XP systems, as well as a "MaxMSP has encountered an error and needs to close, send report etc..." and the app doesn't work at all. On some other systems it's fine. I thought it might be permissions issues on a school lab computer but it also happened on several friends' machines. With the Runtime installed (on some of these, anyway) it worked OK. What's going on?
