Hi, thanks for replying. Win10 64bit. I tried moving to a simpler path like C:\b24\ but running the exe leads to the same error with both versions.
1. The error somehow reminds me of code:blocks (I guess because of the ":") Maybe you have some dev environment installed in PATH that I don't have that means your game can access a DLL I don't have.
2. I have a bunch of stuff in my PATH (cygiwin, gnu on windows, git - because I don't have time to understand what my problems is with them when I have problems so I just use whichever happens to not have issues when I need them) so that might have messed up things.
