Has there been a fix for this yet or do we need to wait for them to fix this still?

same problem for me, what OS do you use because this is happening to alot of vista users it seems because of I think C++ not recognizing the game so it causes this error I read this on the Windows Vista forums about what side-by-side config being incorrect means.

Same issue.

I posted another threrad. I cannot even update. WoTLauncher not found. Why tech gods, why?

Hi laxrules56, I read every thread in here.
This is done for the purpose of collecting bugs, feedback suggestions etc, to forward off to the development team for their investigation.


I dont have any answers for you yet through, it appears to be a new bug, that is only effecting you and another so far.

Have you installed it to a separate new directory, and running it mod free?

Regards
Tan.
so the devs dont know..

have the same problem and im running vista to,

but i seem to be missing files in my res folder. im missing mostly every thing this is my 3rd time re installing the game...

Yep Im Vista

i am also vista

I have windows 7 actually and am having the same problem.

Have no idea how to check log file however, if someone could help me with that. I have looked inside WoT folder but do not see a logs folder, even when digging into each of those folders. I took screenshots of what I'm talking about but attaching pics on this also seems to be a nightmare....

C:\Games\World_of_Tanks and you should see a file that says WOTLauncher.log open that

side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
Same for me as well.  The only fix I've found so far is to Uninstall and reinstall.
Being that I dont have much time to play when i'm off work. I spend more time Reinstalling this game then playing it.
I'm going to leave the game till its confirmed fixed.
Till then. Good Hunting Gents.

Same here

I have the error as well running Windows 7 x64. But I don't have the log files, my latest are from March.

So I have uninstalled everything pertaining to WoT and am Now reinstalling for the fourth time. Let's see what happens.

My problem is  a little different I have downloaded the installer for 0.7.4 several times and never have been able to get the game to install. The last time I cleaned out all the temp files and directories and then downloaded the installer and ran it. It went through extracting all the files and then when it got to processing a file with the extension .pyc it stopped and said could not process because there was not enough storage space. I have 14 gigs clear on that drive and so decided to try "retry". It progressed a bit and then stopped again with the same message. I continued to hit "retry" and after about eight times the install completed. However when i ran the program, it comes up with a screen where the PLAY button is located and when I click on that the game screen comes up and it starts to load...but stops at about 50% and then disappears.
I've been trying all day to get this thing to work. Here is the launcher log.
