Scorpion 8 fails to start

After installing Scorpion 8 the following error message is received:

* The application failed to initialize properly or .net is not working properly

Try the new Scorpion 8 Extentions Installer to fix the problem.

This error message is most probably due to missing/old Microsoft Runtime libraries incompatible with Scorpion 8 and python 2.6.

To correct the problem try the following in sequence :

1. Install Microsoft Vs-2005 sp1  Runtimes
   • Click here to do a visual studio 2005 sp1 install
   • More information Scorpion Online Help
2. Install Python 2.6.x

If everything fails send an e-mail to support@tordivel.no

The error message is most likely to be received when upgrading older XP machines.

Final checklist:

• Deinstall previous Scorpion 8 versions
  • Check software version in Control Panel
  • The reinstall the lastest Scorpion Vision 8
• Deinstall and reinstall Python 2.6.x
• This can fix a not working .net in python
