New Rival dependencies

[Tony Thomas]

Does the engine needs anything else like .NET environment 1.0 or higher, any dll.'s etc? It isnt working for me, the engine just exits even if I open it in console mode. I am trying to running on an Intel Celeron (D) 2.80Mhz.

Dependency Walker says that RivalUCI.exe requires:

MSVCP80.DLL
MSVCR80.DLL
MSVCM80.DLL
MSCOREE.DLL

MSCOREE.DLL is the Microsoft .NET Runtime Execution Engine, so it does appears that the .NET framework is required to run this engine. I'm not sure which version of .NET you'd need; I have version 2.0 installed on my PC and Rival runs fine here. The other DLLs are Visual C++ 2005 runtime files.

Well, I kind of figured that out on my own. My home computer got access to fast internet but the computer is ancient, anyways I was able to use Rivalchess after I installed .NET 2.0, the 3.0 version isnt compatible with my old computer as far as I know. Thanks for talking about dependency walker, I just downloaded it as well, so probably I wont have to ask anymore silly questions similar to my current question in the future.
