i was hoping someone(From Stardock) would realize that the current posted version of Galaxy Forge is missng some dependencies with it's DLL.

Anyway I fixed it myself by downloading the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable and installing.

This is required because of it says: "Microsoft.VC90.CRT could not be found"

Obivously it needs version 9 which is VS2008

Version 8 was VS2005 which most people have by now.

Maybe this is stated somewhere but all I saw was requires .Net 2.0

Thanks for posting your fix for this. I just got Sins a couple days ago and ran into the same frustration today, and was so glad to find this thread, it got forge working spiffy.

Ah good find. Our mistake (we didn't notice because we all have the crt's installed for development). When I update the tools for the new patches I'll be sure to include this.
