Deluge Forum

I have a 32 bit PC which I just reformatted and installed Windows XP SP3 and I downloaded and installed all the critical updates from Microsoft. After installing several other softwares, I downloaded Deluge 1.3.1 and installed the program. Afterward, I rebooted my PC. I clicked on the Deluge icon and an error window popped up and it stated:

"C:\Program Files\Deluge\deluge.exe

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."


I reinstalled Deluge 1.3.1 and then rebooted but I got the same error message. I was thinking maybe the GTK2 Runtime in 1.3.1 may be old so I went and downloaded the most recent GTK2, "gtk2-runtime-2.22.0-2010-10-21-ash," and then uninstalled the previous version and installed the newest one. I then rebooted and clicked on Deluge icon but I got the same error message.

I searched your FAQ and the forum but none applied to this problem. Can you tell me what is going on?

By the way, I was using 1.2.0 or 1.2.1 before I reinstalled Windows XP again.

I was just wondering if Deluge requires Microsoft .Net framework because I do not have that on my PC. If it does require that, which version of .Net framework does it require?

Only suggestion I have is to read some of the other posts in the windows forum that detail complete re-installation

Hey,
got the same problem, have the same software,

uninstall deluge and GTK2,

install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) here.

reinstall deluge,

reinstall gtk2.16

It should work.

Thanks everyone for your help but my earlier assumption was correct in that Deluge did not work because I did not have Microsoft .Net Framework. I initially installed .Net Framework 4.0 but surprisingly that did not work. I installed .Net 3.5 Service Pack 1 and rebooted. I was going to try it but I received updates from Microsoft and they were previous versions of .Net like 3.0 and 2.0. I installed them and rebooted and then tried it and it worked. I hope this helps for those who might have similar problem like mine.

The other issue to add in to the list is to delete all application data from Deluge's folders in Windows before running the first time.

I could not get 1.3.1 to run, even a clean install, until I'd deleted the old appdata.

Yeah, it would be nice if the .NET requirement was made clear to people before they download and install it.
