CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I've been trying to get a particular game to work so in my efforts I installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2008 and then 2010 into a particular bottle. But it didn't help so I uninstalled them. But now any time I load up crossover and click on the icon in the dock when it loads, it throws an error:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: Z:\Applications\CrossOver....

R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

And then it has an OK button but when I click it the error box just reappears over and over and over again.

How do I get rid of this? Please help!! Do I have to just completely uninstall and then reinstall CrossOver?

The uninstall feature for a bottle is incomplete. It doesn't cleanly uninstall applications for various reasons. You can add MSVC++ 2008 back to the bottle and it will likely go away... actually the R6034 error usually applies to MSVC++2005. Otherwise, if the installation of the application you're trying to get to work is easy, you can simply create a new bottle and throw away the affected one.

Ah okay, that explains it. Guess I'll just have to make a new bottle and get rid of the other one. Thanks. Btw, are there any plans to improve the uninstaller at some point or otherwise a work around to actually uninstall software without starting a new bottle?

Ha ha, don't ask too much, even on windows the uninstaller leaves crumbs behind! Might it just be the damn crud in the idiotic registry, after a while installing and uninstalling will leave you with a very slow Windows at best.

Since you can just delete bottles, I would say Crossover is already better than windows at uninstalling / cleaning up.

Just my little rant on the matter.
