Anope IRC Services
Anope Support => 1.8.x/1.7.x Support (Read Only) => Topic started by: Skipwich on November 12, 2008, 03:47:42 PM

I installed Anope 1.8.0-rc1 after downloading it from this site. It was installed on a computer running a 500Mhz Pentium 2 processor, 256MB RAM, and Windows 2000 Professional SP4.
After I installed it I tried to run Anope IRC Services on this computer and got an error message saying: "Could not find module MSVCR80.dll in any of the following folders:..." and then it would list the folders it searched through but could not find it. I would then click the OK button on the message and nothing would happen.
After this I went online and downloaded the missing .dll file (MSVCR80.dll) and put it in C:/WINNT, as it was one of the folders listed on the error message. When I clicked on the Anope IRC services again, it would flash open a command prompt window and then the command prompt window would disappear, and then nothing would happen afterward.
Is this a problem with the .dll (replacment .dll or how it was missing in the first place), or is it the operating system, or what my computer is running hardware-wise? Am I missing anything important that also needs to be downloaded/installed along with Anope 1.8.0-rc1? Please help me out here! ??? ??? :-\
If you could help out, it would be greatly appreciated.
Again, thanks in advance,

EDIT: I've changed your version to 1.8.0 as per your other post to make it more friendly for future searching etc. - Charles Kingsley

Hello,
1.6.x isn't supported on Windows so I'd urge you to retry with 1.8.0 RC1.

I'm sorry but I got the version wrong- I was typing the on the forum at a different computer other than the one I am using for Anope.
The version is 1.8.0 rc1, not 1.6.x, sorry for the confusion. :o :-X
Again can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance,

If you're getting the command prompt showing up and disappearing it tends to mean its running successfully but that there's something up with your config.
Open a command prompt via start, run, cmd.
Navigate to where you installed anope, normally C:\Program Files\Anope and run anope.exe from there and see if it gives an error, or alternatively anope.exe -debug -nofork and it will give you some more info.
