D3SOL4TE Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Is anyone able to help I'm trying to get Morrowind to work with MGE XE but I just get the following error message when attempting to launch the game."That the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."I've performed a clean install of Windows in attempt to fix the issue and while it did work initially, after installing Bitdefender I get the above error message, though it doesn't seem to be specifically caused by Bitdefender because I performed another clean install prior to this one and Morrowind was working with MGE XE before I installed CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack).

leonardo2 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 You have better chance to get help for your issue by using these links. https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/41102https://bethesda.net/community/topic/51653/mge-xe-graphics-extender-release-and-support-thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon32 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Looking for the error on the Interwebs that seems to be caused by missing runtimes. Do you get the message just trying to run Morrowind? Can't remember what MGE XE is built in, could be worth downloading all the latest VC++ runtimes though - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads If you're on 64bit OS get both 32bit and 64bit runtimes, as they're for the executable not the OS. Other thing which is a maybe is disabling DEP for morrowind.exe (if you've configured DEP for all applications) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3SOL4TE Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I did find a workaround where by I have to remove the "dinput8.dll" file from my Morrowinds main directory inorder for Morrowind to launch but then it just means I have to place it back whenever I need to configure anything with MGE XE. I have the latest Visual C++ Redistributables installed and I have tried disabling DEP for Morrowind already as well as other possible solutions I found online but nothing seems to work. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon32 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 That DLL is how MGE (XE) intercepts keyboard input for its macro function. In case you hadn't worked it out. It's a weird fix, but a fix is a fix... Guess you installed the full DirectX 9c redistributable package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3SOL4TE Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 What macro function? I have tried installing DirectX 9 as instructed on MGE XEs mod page. Windows 10 apparently already comes with it preinstalled anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon32 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Keyboard macros, bind functions to keys. I used to use it for screenshots in the MGE days. Thought there were some parts of 9c not installed by default (managed DX components, maybe?) or via the DX web installer Download this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 Extract to temporary folder and run dxsetup.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonardo2 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) What macro function? I have tried installing DirectX 9 as instructed on MGE XEs mod page. Windows 10 apparently already comes with it preinstalled anyway.It doesn't matter whether it is pre-installed or not you must install DirectX 9.0c manually as it is cumalative, which means you can install it regardless what DirectX you have installed and doing that won't have any bad side affects. I also suggest that you follow my quick guide for MGE/MGE-XE (just replace MGE with MGE-XE and that should work) about how to install or reinstall or uninstall. I've tested it myself and never failed for a couple of years now. Edited October 16, 2018 by leonardo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 doesn't install as it's already installed (see attachment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonardo2 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Then install Microsoft.NET Framework 4.7.x (I have 4.7.1 installed). That should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
