Hi,
Nice tutorials BTW :)

I do have one issue, I can't run the tracker program that came with part 2...

It wont’ run under Vista…

This is the error dialog message I get:

Quote:[Window Title]
C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\mySynth_02\mySynth_02\AbSyntheTracker.exe

[Content]
C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\mySynth_02\mySynth_02\AbSyntheTracker.exe

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.


When I look at the event log I see this:

Quote:Activation context generation failed for “C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\mySynth_02\mySynth_02\AbSyntheTracker.exe”. Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture=”x86″,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”,type=”win32″,version=”8.0.50727.4053″ could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.


Any ideas?

cheers,
Paul
Thank you for the feedback!

I developed the tracker in vista, so it should work.

I suppose the problem is about MSVC 2005 redist.
Microsoft updated MSVC 2005 with a security update last July, and this installs a new version of the CRT (.4053). It's not easy to find the redist, this should be the correct link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en

Let me know if this fix works.

Thank you again for your feedback!
Hi again,
thanks for YOUR feedback! LOL ;)

Ok, I have installed that update, but now I am missing other files it seems:

Quote:---------------------------
AbSyntheTracker.exe - Unable To Locate Component
---------------------------
This application has failed to start because QtCore4.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


It seems like I have to download and install Qt, whatever that is...

Is the correct site to go to for this software?

http://qt.nokia.com/downloads

Paul

Yes, it's the correct link. :)
Thanks for the help so far, much appreciated! :)

I have rated you up, BTW.
I am rather confused as to what to download from that page though...

cheers,
Paul

There is a redist package here
Unluckly Qt version and compiler differ from the ones I'm using (it's 4.6 on MSVC 2008 vs 4.5.3 on MSVC 2005).

I didn't include the dlls because I don't know if it's legal... but it seems fine to redistribute the dlls.

Can somebody confirm it's legal?

I have posted a new zip, it should work now... let me know!

Great! the new zip file works...Woo Hoo!

Thanks so much for you help! :)

I look forward to more of your tutorials :)

Very nice, the 'compute note freq. instead of reading it from array' was pretty slick, will add a new angle to the way i look at synthmaking, not so much in the formula itself but in the concept behind it.
