Hello all,

I'm a new user and as such, am hesitant to post this but I'm in urgent need of some assistance. I have followed the various FAQs and tips posted throughout these forums, but have not yet found the solution to my problem.

Upon opening and activating the trainer in-game, I am immediately given an error that states I'm missing the vcredist executables.

Spoiler:

Trainer: Kingdom_CH
Trainer Engine: 2.56 (with Log-System v1.2)
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 8.1
OS Platform: 64-Bit

Running as administrator: True
Installed Antivirus: Windows Defender
Installed Firewall: No Firewall

Error Output:
System.Exception: Please install BOTH 'vcredist_x86.exe' AND 'vcredist_x64.exe', using the following link: www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40784
After installation restart your computer and try again.
at Kingdom_CH.TrainerEngine.InjectDLL(String libPath)
at Kingdom_CH.TrainerEngine.InjectCHDLL()
at Kingdom_CH.TrainerEngine.AttachToProcessByName(String pProcess, Boolean pMultiProcesses, Int32 pID, ProcessAccessFlags pAccessFlag)
at Kingdom_CH.Form1.ActivateTrainer()
at Kingdom_CH.Form1.tHotkeys_Tick(Object sender, EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.OnTick(EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.TimerNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

I have .NET Framework installed (v4.6) and the latest package (2015). I do not have AVG installed and am currently using Windows 8.

What am I doing wrong?

Yep you are going to need to install both vcredist's via the link its provided and restart the system after that.

If it still crashes then the VC++ redist installation is broken and you will have to uninstall completely and reinstall it. Not to forget to restart the system to.

**Typo fix

I looked into your solution, trying once again to find my error. I discovered I had multiple versions of VC++ installed, deleted all, reinstalled, installed 2015 and yet...

The same error persists. Is there anything else that could possibly be the issue? Reinstall Framework? Only use VC++ 2013?

Edit: Installed the 2013 version, still not working. I can't understand what is going on.

Questions...
1. Does it happen with just this one game or all games?
2. Does it happen only after you try to activate a trainer or even if you don't have the trainer running?
3. Have you tried to verify integrity of game cache or reinstall the game?

Aha...

I'm not a big Steam user, so Kingdom is the only game I have installed.

I "acquired" Plague Inc: Evolved to test your hypothesis and I see now that there may be an issue with the Kingdom trainer rather than my system settings. There are no issues opening and activating the Plague Inc trainer.

1. You need to install BOTH VC++ 2013 redis. The 32bit (x86) and the 64bit (x64)
2. After installation you MUST perform a reboot. This is not a typical phrase, its required.
3. After installation and reboot it should work.

If it still does not work and only then, it might be a corrupted VC++ installation or a missing TMP variable.

In this case this is what Microsoft tells:
1. Goto My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables.
2. Select TEMP System Variable and Click Edit.
3. Validate the path. Set it to a valid folder on the local machine.

I've posted screenshots so that you can see what I'm seeing:

I've validated %SystemRoot%\TEMP and it paths correctly.
