i wouldnt post here if i HADNT tried everything that was posted before me... I have uninstalled COMPLETELY by unlicensing the game.. and i have reinstalled and downloaded from different places... 5 times doing this and following your step by step has not made this work on my machine....
I even tried to install it on my XP desktop and it wont even open... I have NEVER had a game be this much of a problem to install... Back to my Laptop (64bit vista) as soon as i double click the icon i get OOTP baseball 10 has stopped working.... i havent even seen the main page to the game it doesnt even get that far... i have done all the DEP changes.. no other games require this amount of change to get it to work... Where do i need to go for a refund? |

I'm just a gamer like yourself trying to help, so I'm sorry I wasn't able to. If you're looking for a refund, I would contact support@elicense.com with your request. Better yet, one of the OOTP Development people such as Markus, Steve, or Andreas might also have some workarounds that could help and might want you to send your game files to see if they can diagnose the issue.
If you followed all my directions, I'm sadly at a loss - especially as you tried it on XP, because then it's not an OS compatibility issue.

Anyone else having this whole DEP/runservice-not-there issue with Win 7?
I've gotten to the point where it says I'm missing a DLL. (msrvc71.dll) |

Ok, after getting msvcr71.dll from a trusted place and putting it in my windows/system folder, the elicense dialogue ran and the game started fine after licensing.

I re-installed. Went through every step.
Rebooted for the last time, went to fire up OOTPX, "allow" and then nothing happens....as in OOTPX doesn't start up...Turned off firewall and it still didn't work. Any ideas? Dell Inspiron 1525 Notebook Vista SP2 Memory 2.00 GB Resolution 1280x800 Last edited by dieselboy; 10-26-2009 at 04:44 PM. |

This is apparently an issue with Windows 7 64-bit as well. Any chance to get OOTP to actually include all the files it needs to run? If elicense needs something, it should be included as well.

Yeah, I should've mentioned i'm on Win 7 64-bit.
Something weird happened today. Sometime between last night and tonight, OOTPX won't start. It gives me a windows application error 0x000000005 or something and won't start. |

Well, I downloaded the full install and ran it and it seems to include the msvcr71.dll, so I'm good now. Either I screwed up something in the install dance I did, or this is missing from the patch.

I'm not quite sure where you're at in the process, but it sounds like you haven't managed to get eLicense to load just yet. I don't doubt you followed my instructions, but I would also double-check to make sure that both the game is still listed in your DEP exceptions, as any kind of a roll-back or shadow copy restoration could have undone that. Then search to see if runservice has shown up yet - if it has, add that to the list. Assuming those are all correct and added to your list, I would consider turning off your AV just during installation to see if that makes a difference - I sometimes hear unusual issues that come up whenever there's a scan or active protection is enabled, although I'm not sure why it would come up in that manner as opposed to a typical "false positive" that you would otherwise get. Most common AV programs have matured to being fairly streamlined for gamers, nowadays. Don't forget to turn it back on afterwards, btw. Other than that, I'm a little stumped on that one. Please let us know if it works or if there's anything else that comes up.

It just isn't worth the trouble anymore
I have tried all of the above to get the game to start.
If it takes all of this to play this game. "It just isn't worth the trouble anymore". I have purchased every OOTP game from the get go, and 6.5 was the best. This game is just too much work. For heaven sake this isn't a game with heavy graphics and a high rated computer to play it. What gives here? I am going back to Pure Sim and Baseball Mogul. At least I do not have to do all the above nonsense to play them.

I stopped playing around Thksgvng. No, that's not true. I stopped effing around w/ my computer TRYING to play around Thksgvng. I tried again in the new year; tryied to unliscence but nothing worked; so, went through my entire computer deleting everything connected w/ ootp; emptied the Recycle bin. Now, will try one more time - then Adios Marcus, et al: this is not a way to run a consumer-targeted software company! |

Is anyone giving support for this? I'd like to buy the game and use it, but obviously can't.
Windows Version (which SP of Vista) Windows Vista Home 32 bit SP2 Memory RAM 4GB and 200+GB free space. Resolution 1680 X 1050 I've tried all the above steps. Basically when I double click the exe the comp brings up the "An unidentified program.." warning, I click Accept, it thinks for a sec, then nothing. This happened to me last Summer and I just gave up and uninstalled. Happening to me again after reinstalling. Man, I can't be alone. Wonder how much business has been lost here. It seems to be associated with elicense. This is the error I get before adding the unlicense command, running as admin etc. It would be nice to have an alternate means of buying this.

I'm a long time OOTP user and a computer tech not affiliated with OOTP Developments and I'm willing to try and help (no charge). Send me a private message if you're interested.

Gary (Old Timer) resolved this using remote access, so I'm not sure exactly what he did. It was fairly complex and he's now a tech for OOTP so I'll let him decide if he wants to post a guide or whatnot. Anyways, thanks again and big kudos to Gary.

The steps to resolve it aren't simple (registry edits are necessary), but aren't as involved as it seemed either. Once I figured out what needed to be done, it wasn't too bad. I'll definitely be writing up the solution as I think it might help out others in the future too. |
