It is literally 2 posts above yours, you need to install the vc redist, which should be found in the redist dir in poe dir. Make sure you have windows update service & windows modules installer enabled while install (you can disable after if you want). The correct vc dist for x64 has x64 in filename, if x86 likewise, if amd ... you get the picture.	Posted by Elthiriul#0508 on Mar 1, 2016, 3:03:23 AM Quote this Post

For some reason I cannot update my windows either with the latest files, however SP1 is installed tho. Kinda weird I need to update windows to run POE as well since I never had any problems running it before :/... Why don't GGG just put out an update with a solution instead of WE need to solve it ourselves :/....	Posted by Ruffneck058#4491 on Mar 1, 2016, 3:11:55 AM Quote this Post

Just goto the reddit thread listed earlier or MS themselves and download the appropriate redist for your particular machine(s) make and follow the easy steps, the reason for install's failing is because we disabled services (for various reasons im sure).
