Sorry that I can't be of any more help really....

thank you
the VC could actually be a thing to investigate; I've read that SH5 is picky on the VC version and I could have more than one installed..

thanks again

What I did was uninstall VC completely, and then installed 2005 - checked if it worked, the re-installed 2008 - and it worked. I think something got overwritten wrongly when I installed Vis Studio 08 or something.

I noted that when I installed on Win7 Ultimate (x64) that the installer didn't automatically run the VC 2008 redist installer, nor the DirectX updater. I had to run them manually. Once I did so, I no longer had the problem that the OP did.

hello

thanks everybody for the advices;

after trying to mess with visual C++ redist in various versions and directx as well, I gave up and installed windows 7 32 bit in place of the 64 bit.

sh5 then ran smoothly at the first try...

maybe I'll play sometimes with 32 bit and then try again to install it on 64..

thank you

ciao
