I didn't touch any DLLs. I'll try deleting PTE and reinstalling it, but verify files hasn't found a problem.
I think that was me lol... if I recall correctly I had that same error when I copied "msvcp110.dll" and "msvcr110.dll" from "bin_x86" to "bin_x64" - the way that I fixed it was by copying the same files but from the stable build "bin_x64" folder to the PTE version or for the "proper" way install these: Try to install those packages. Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (both x86 & x64): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 VC++2010: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523 VC++ 2013 (both x86 & x64): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 I too had this exact issue because of the files missing from the bin folders - whereas in the stable build they are present. Either way if you do the above it will resolve the problem for you
If you have some time to check it can you inspect bin_x64/PA.exe with dependency walker? http://www.dependencywalker.com/ It's should show what DLL is failed to load, e.g check this article: http://xinyustudio.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/application-0x00000007-error-and-troubleshooting/ Most likely you get 32-bit DLL to load instead of 64-bit.
i had the same message and after uninstalling Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package x86 and replaced it with the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package x64 it worked, no more error message, since i have a 64bit system, don't really know why the x86 was on it
You don't need to uninstall x86. On Windows you need both of them because mostly every app on Windows is 32-bit even if you using 64-bit OS.
Yes - this is what I was trying to say earlier although doing what you had suggested did fix the problem as well.
Yeah already find same behavior on my Windows 8.1 VM. Though proper way to fix this issue it's to install redists and then you won't need to copy DLLs.
